Lamb Recipes by Bookseller

Mads, I, too, like lamb best grilled, but if you don't want to go that route, there's a lovely classic French dish called navarin prantanier, that's basically a light stew of lamb with spring vegetables -- new potatoes or tiny turnips, peas, baby carrots, asparagus or green beans -- and herbs.

Chinese Muslims cook a lot with lamb; if you like Chinese food, try subbing lamb for beef in a stir-fry, maybe upping the scallions and ginger.

Middle Eastern-style lamb, with a salad and tahini, is wonderful, as is something like a lamb biryani. Actually, if you like Indian food, it's the home of lamb dishes, since the Muslim/Hindu combo means that both pork and beef are often avoided. Caribbean and Latin American recipes (look for "cabrito") are also muy plentiful, though often spicy (the Carib ones, at least), which might not do your tum any good.
