Lamb Leg Steak

 A juicy looking piece of boneless lamb leg steak 
in the refrigerated meat dept. while shopping, was too tempting
to walk away from!
I really enjoy a good piece of lamb, and though lamb
can be prepared in many different ways, sometimes a quick
cook can be the most satisfying.  
With a sprinkling of sea salt and a generous portion of 
Herbes de Provence, a splash of olive oil to the pan, 
cook until a golden brown crust starts to form.

The drippings can be made into a sauce, or if preparing potatoes, they
can be tossed in the drippings. 

This piece was large and so definitely was shareable. 
Accompanied with a crisp salad, or a cucumber salad and lemon wedges,
you will have the start to an amazing meal.

As Always,
ENJOY!

Israeli Chicken Schnitzel

 Whether it is veal, pork or chicken, a crisp breaded crust is 
always a delicious treat for lunch or dinner.

This became a popular dish when veal was unavailable,
but chicken was readily available.  Served with buttered baby potatoes, 
an Israeli salad (similar to Greek salad) and lemon wedges, you have 
all the components to make an interesting meal of varying 
textures and flavors.

The addition of sesame seeds to the crust gives
added flavor and uniqueness to the whole dish. 

As Always, 
ENJOY!
