I have a green vegetable (roasted brussel sprouts), and I'm putting par-boiled potatoes under the lamb (they get all nice and browned and are delicious with the gravy) but I need something else on the plate, and I am at a total loss. Something I could throw into a casserole dish would be nice. HELP! Jodi (who is unsure how late the grocery store is open today...) |

Waldorf Salad, or something with fruit. Always good with lamb. Either that or a very good crusty bread. |

I like Mik's ideas, but if you're sticking with the casserole dish, how about this recipe for Orzo Pilaf, as ripped of the side of a pasta box?? We love it. 1 cup of orzo 1/2 - 1 chopped onion brown in butter for a few minutes add 2 1/3 cups chicken broth, bring to boil Turn down to simmer, cover, should be just under 15 minutes. Recipe calls for a sprinkle of parsley. That's a serving for four. Oh yeah, final direction- dump into casserole dish before serving.

Funny, I was thinking orzo, too. |

A hot curried fruit compote goes well with lamb. |

Love Orzo, but that would be potatoes and pasta. Two starches. |

Yeah, which at my house would mean that I'd be trying to think of just one more. You and plays are right; lamb and something fruit-themed. |
