Yesterday I did a skirt and shin mushroom and red wine casserole and it was yummy.
Today that casserole is now a pie with Jalapeños and Cheese! (and a smaller potato top as Mrs Hooroo doesn't like meat and cheese pies)
soooo good! (hopefully) Will try and add a photo once out of the oven.
Edit: Happy. Happy

Meant to be in Crete next week so Greek food week lined up. Probably going to make a moussaka and a stifado/kokinisto. Any other (easy) ideas? Bonesetta isn't huge on lamb but I might be able to sneak some in.
Keftethes are super easy, zucchini or tomato fritters, pastitsio and saganaki all good.
Stay away from retsina

Hah I know them as kofte. Awesome suggestions, thanks! I'll be steering clear of raki too.

Lamb cutlets or fillet served with this combo mixed together :
Greek Yoghurt (Pottle)
Honey (tablespoon)
Fresh chopped Mint (Some)
Lemon juice (Half Lemon)
Lemon zest (I use whole lemon zest but prolly not necessary)
S&P (I use cracked white pepper rather than black)Just throw that over the sliced fillet or cutlets and sprinkle with pomegranate hoohoos (I don't know the name of the sharp/sweet little lovelies that come from a pomegranate)
Lovely!

@Hooroo it's almost like you knew I love lamb and were just creating a list of how to ruin it
nah tempted to give it a go, but pomegranate can blergh the fuck off. Still be ok you reckon?Yeah, fully works without Pomegranate as I do it out of season all the time. The honey/Lemon/Greek Yoghurt/Mint combo just works!!
I like having it in a flat bread type thing

As a colour and texture and slight point of acidity, then it’s good but I can’t work out how how someone would be anti it.

Pomegranate seeds are a little flavour pop. They burst which adds texture, and they add sweetness. I love them on a green, grain salad with feta and mint.
if you have fresh pomegranate, my better half found out that you can get the seeds out (which are a bitch) by cutting in half and hitting the back. The seeds literally just drop out.
Also, in terms of flavour pops, capers. Fark yeah baby,

Yeah, you cup it in your hands and hit the skin side with the back of a spoon. The seeds fall through your fingers

Or just top and tail it, slice the skin off and you will see all the segments of seeds which you can cut out. Far less messy.
I bet you have a tonne of kitchen hacks for the home cook! I like that one!
