新高考英语时文阅读高二年级专版（含答案解析及原文翻译）ASwitch up the mealtime routine with lamb, a delicious, healthy alternative to chicken or beef.We ustralians love lamb. Relatively easy to cook, lamb is succulent and moist when prepared properly and marries well with different flavors and fresh produce. And lamb can really hold its own with spices. While rosemary is a classic seasoning for lamb, oregano and the Moroccan spice harissa are equally great counterparts to pair with different cuts.When shopping for lamb, look at the color of the meat, which should be rosy. Avoid any cutswith a brownish tinge. The fat should be creamy white and firm and dry to the touch. It is important to buy the cut suitable for the recipe you have in mind.During preparation, grilling, broiling, and roasting meat tends to reduce fat; frying anythingis less healthy. Overcooking is the most fatal mistake home chefs make. Dry meat is a buzzkill. Break out your meat thermometer —the perfect temperature for medium rare doneness is 130F.Always allow the meat to rest after cooking and before serving —30 minutes for a leg of lamb; those precious juices keep the meat moist.I balance the richness of lamb with fresh seasonal vegetables like fresh peas or a side salad.
