Wine marinated lamb popsicle in fenugreek cream curry
Image by Vincent Ma
When we went to Vancouver we visited Vij’s. We were absolutely floored by their food. Subsequently we bought his cookbook and proceeded to try to make one of our favourite dish from that visit, the Lamb Popsicle.
Dried fenugreek leaves (that’s what we used in this dish) is called kasoori (or kasuri) methi. We found a big bag of it in an Indian groceries store. The smell and flavour of the fenugreek is very hard to describe and very exotic. It’s no wonder that this herb hasn’t made it into many mainstream western dishes.
The recipe called for a "sweet white wine" to be used when marinating the rack of lamb. Since this is a spicy (literally, and also piquant) dish, we thought we’d be cute and used a Gewürztraminer. I picked one of my favourite: Pelee Island Winery. Remember, kids: Always buy a wine that’s good enough to drink for cooking. Especially when faced with a Recipe that calls for something like 3 tablespoons of wine (Doh!)
If you make the dish please make sure you have lots of rice or bread around — you won’t want to waste a drop of the sauce, it’s that good.
