Lamb Shanks, I have to say that Patti out did herself with this one. All I did was put the things she gave on the grill. She seared the lamb in a cast iron Dutch oven and then made a sauce to cook them in. Followed with creamy blue cheese garlic mashed potatoes that was incredible. Topped off with Patti’s zesty bacon sausage stuffed mushrooms. Then, Patti served these guys up on a bed of her blue cheese mashed potatoes. It was crazy good. with just a “Kiss of Smoke”

Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Green Mountain Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme.  Wood Pellet Patio Heater, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a little wine, or strawberry margaritas using frozen strawberries for ice, good food, music and sometimes a dance or two…

A Wood Pellet Grill Recipe

Directions: Lamb Shanks

Preheat the grill to 300* (149c) and light your wedgie.

In a 5 quart Dutch oven add the bacon and render, when you have hot bacon drippings add the lamb shanks 1 or 2 at a time and sear. Remove and set aside, continue until you have done them all.

Next, add all the remaining ingredients to your Dutch oven, ready for the grill.

Place your Dutch oven directly on the grill uncovered for about 2 ½ hours.

Then, cover for 3 hours.

If you are doing the potatoes and mushrooms, add them uncovered for the last 30 minutes of cook time and they will pick up some of that “Kiss of Smoke” as well.

I use a Maverick ProTemp Instant Read Thermometer for checking meat temps.

Note: I get a lot of questions about the kind of pellets you can use with a recipe. Keep in mind that a recipe is just an outline. Some you need to follow closely like when you are making bread, but most you can do anything you can dream, our favorite way to cook. Feel free to mix and match the pellets until you find a combination you really like. Also you are only smoking at temps less than 250 degrees (122c), anything higher is cooking and there will not be much if any smoke so it does not matter what kind of pellet you are using.

About our Recipes

We do our recipes on our patio where we have a lineup of grills, including Green Mountain, Uuni Wood Fired Pizza Oven, Sawtooth, Louisiana, Royall, Memphis, Traeger pellet grills, Char Griller side box smoker, Saber, Charmglow, Char-Broil, The Big Easy, Lodge Sportsman’s, Brinkman and Weber. I call it our “Wall of Grill”. Our grilling styles are healthy and low fat and will fit pelletheads, gas, natural wood and even charcoal purists. Almost any of our recipes can be done on any kind of good BBQ.

The important thing to keep in mind is TIME & TEMPERATURE. You can do our recipes on any grill, even some of them in the oven or crock pot, but, then you lose all the flavors you get from cooking outdoors. But sometimes it does rain.

Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to suit your taste. Take it and run with it….

Live your Passion and Do What You Love,
Ken & Patti
