Almost everybody loves a barbecue. All around the world,
every Saturday afternoon, you can see men gathered around barbecues in
backyards, talking, laughing, drinking and cooking their favourite summer meal.
Yet Barbecue cooking is much more than simply cooking a meal. It is a time of
fellowship, a wonderful time for men to spend time talking with other men,
discussing issues like barbecue sauce recipes, how dark it should be cooked,
and the many other issues of manly life!

While there are a huge variety of barbecue cooking mediums
available to barbecue chef’s, such as the electric grill, gas, charcoal, or
smoker, there is something unique and wonderful about the barbecue flavour that
you can obtain from barbeque cooking on your outdoor grill.

But the forgotten meat in all this is lamb! Cooking lamb on
your outdoor grill is not something that everyone thinks about, with most
concentrating on beef, chicken or even exotic meats like kangaroo! In most
barbecue cooking, beef or chicken or even seafood are considered mainstays on
the barbecue cooking menu. However, cooking lamb on a barbecue can give you
fantastic results, and you are not just limited to lamb chops.

Cooking lamb may involve chops, steaks, sausages, or you can
even roast a full leg of lamb in a barbecue, perhaps utilising a barbecue
rotisserie to keep the lamb turning and to minimise the amount of fat retained
in the meat. Cooking lamb roast is one
of the best uses for the barbeque rotisserie I can think of, and there is
little doubt that it is a very healthy way of barbeque cooking.

A plethora of barbecue recipes are available, and anything
you can find that applies to beef will also apply to a lamb chop. In fact, cooking
lamb can yield even better results than beef, because it tends to be extremely
tender when cooked correctly, and it also absorbs beautifully the flavours and
scenes of the outdoor barbecue cooking which we love so much.

Cooking lamb in the form of sausages is also a very viable
alternative for barbecue cooking. Unlike beef, lamb’s light texture can provide
a welcome alternative to some of the heavier beef sausages.

So if you’re looking for a fantastic alternative to beef, one
that is lighter, healthier, yet just as easy to cook on your outdoor grill,
then look no further than lamb. Lamb cooking, the forgotten aspect of barbecue
cooking, could be next big hit at your next neighbourhood barbecue party.
