Recipes by Omar

Braised lamb shank in a wide bowl with rich broth, deep brown meat falling off the bone, lamb bone protruding, glossy braising liquid pooled around it

Braised Lamb Shanks (Carnivore, 3 Hours)

4 lamb shanks braised in beef broth at 325°F for 3 hours until fall-off-the-bone tender. Salt only, no wine, no veggies. Yields 4 hearty servings.

Four lamb burgers in a cast iron skillet, deep brown crusty exterior, juicy medium interior visible at the cut, scattered salt, glistening with rendered fat

Lamb Burger (Carnivore, 80/20 Ground Lamb)

1 lb 80/20 ground lamb formed into 4 patties, seared in cast iron 3-4 minutes per side. Salt only. Richer than beef burgers, $7 per pound.
