  2. how different is the lamb ragu from a beef based sauce? I haven't had too many lamb dishes -
    My meatloaf tonight was good, saute'd onion,celery, bell pepper, mushrooms, garlic, seasoned w/ italian herbs, let cool...mix into 1 lb. grnd. beef + 1 lb. grnd. pork + 1 egg + handful of breadcrumbs, loafed it up and topped it w/ 1/2 bbq sauce+1/2 ketchup. 375 for an hour.

  3. lamb compared to beef is different in a couple of ways......First it has more fat to drain off after browning.....2nd it has a way different flavor...more sweet than beef, the Ragu might be the best place to try lamb first as it will be slightly muddled in the sauce. You could sub...part pork part veal for this recipe also

  6. And it calls for veal, not lamb! I think I cut down on the amount of water when I made them...
