I usually do rosemary and garlic with mint jelly for lamb. But that gets boring. I have done Chili pepper oil and pineapple juice with salt pepper and garlic and that was good too but I am hoping for something different. Maybe teriyaki or something? I was hoping you guys might have some good ideas. Thanks.

Well I have a bunch of plantains that need to be cooked so I looked for a Jamaican jerk lamb recipe. I found this one on line and I messed with it a bit cause I didn't have all the spices. I will let you know how it tastes.Found on: http://www.sheepscre...cipes/jerk.html * 2 pounds lean lamb, (leg or loin) * 2-12 Scotch bonnet chiles, stemmed * 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped * 4 Shallots, or about a ¼ cup * 2 bunches of chives or scallions (trimmed and coarsely chopped) * 1 cup coarsely chopped fresh-parsley * 4 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped * 1 Tbs finely chopped ginger * 3 Tbs salt (to taste) * 2 tsp thyme, fresh or dried * 2 tsp ground all-spice * 1 tsp black pepper (fresh ground) * ½ tsp nutmeg (fresh grated) * ¼ tsp cinnamon (ground) * 1/8 tsp ground cloves * ¼ cup lime juice or vinegar * 3 Tbs soy sauce * 2 Tbs vegetable oil * 1 Tbs brown sugar * 2 Tbs water or as needed Combine the chiles, onion, shallots, chives, parsley, and garlic in a food processor and purée to a coarse paste. Work in the ginger, salt, thyme, allspice, black pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, lime juice, soy sauce, vegetable oil, and brown sugar. Correct the seasoning, adding soy sauce or salt to taste. The mixture should be very flavorful. Add water to obtain a thick but pourable paste.Marinate the lamb in the jerk mixture for 3-4 hours, or overnight. Grill or broil to taste.The recipe makes about 1½ cups, enough jerk for about 2 pounds of Caribbean lamb. Refrigerated, the jerk seasoning should last for weeks, but it is better used sooner. Store in a glass jar with a non-reactive lid.Note: Wear gloves when handling chiles. If you want a milder jerk you can substitute jalepenos. Twelve Scotch bonnets will give you the full force Jamaican jerk. Grow into it if you are not adapted.

I was really happy with this recipe. I didn't follow the measurements I added things by eye and taste. It came out awesome!

This week I used the marinade envelopes from the grocery store "envelope section" for some lamb chops that were on sale. I think it was zesty herb... Anyway, I kick it up with pepper flavored vinegar (available in asian stores) and I always let the marinade sit on the meat at least 1 day in the fridge. I'm not sure you can marinade ANYTHING in 30 minutes!

That sounds great! I just made some last week using a different recipeI used Soy SauceLime JuiceVinegarAllspiceBrown sugarDiced onionsGarlicSesame OilSalt PepperOreganoI mix to taste then I added the meat once the consistency felt right. Let it marinade for 3 days and then cooked it with a pan. I would have rather BBQed it on some mesquite chips but I don't have a grill at the moment. That with cucumber salad and mashed potatoes. Tasted great!
