Already started with the lamb head for a teaser-already in the pressure cooker.

Easter eggs are ready.

Two lambshanks waiting their turn at the stove.

Details? The rack looks great ( but what’s in it) and those shanks,,,,,, ?

 

[atomicsmoke]

The rack is stuffed with duck organs, boiled eggs and a bunch of green onions and parsley. Traditionally is stuffed with lamb organs (actually traditionally the whole forequarter is stuffed) but my family doesnt like lamb much.

Only 3 braid Dave. Miight bt be hard to tell: it goes around, then a cross in the middle.

King Arthur had a live U-Tube on braiding challah a couple days ago... The baker spoke of a 20 braid, in a circle, he made during the holidays to put in his window to boost sales... I've eaten a LOT of challah with honey over the years.... What a great bread.... Never made it... only eaten it....
I s'pose I ought to give it a try.... Heck, I've failed at every other type of bread... What's one more...
I've looked for his 20 braid... I'm guessing he kept it a secret as I can't find it...

I browned the shanks in a frying pan then cooked them in the slow cooker for 8h on low with chopped onion, carrot, celery, thyme, bay leaf, broth and red wine.
