    Title: Statistical Lamb Barbacoa
    Categories: Lamb/mutton, Chilies, Herbs, Vegetables
    Yield: 6 Servings

    6 Ancho chilies; stemmed,
    - seeded
    3 Guajillo chilies; stemmed,
    - seeded
    3 lb Boneless lamb shoulder
    Salt
    10 cl Garlic
    1 c Brewed coffee
    1/2 c Water
    1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
    1 ts Dried oregano
    1 ts Ground cumin
    1 tb Agave nectar
    1 sm Yellow onion; in slivers
    1 Carrot; peeled, in rounds
    Tortillas; for serving
    Cilantro; for serving
    Diced onions; for serving
    Salsa; for serving

    Is there a reason why we Texans don’t eat much lamb?
    It’s tender, it’s flavorful, it’s not too expensive and
    yet you seldom see it. Heck, I even heard a statistic
    that said we eat less than a half a pound of lamb a
    year.

    Here is my take on lamb, and easy lamb barbacoa. It
    makes for wonderful tacos, tostadas or just served on
    its own.

    Toast the ancho and guajillo chiles in a dry cast iron
    skillet on medium heat for a few minutes on each side
    and then turn off the heat and fill the skillet with
    water. Let the chiles soak for 20 minutes or until soft.

    Cut the lamb into 3" cubes and rub the meat with salt.

    Drain the chiles from the soaking water, rinse, then
    place in a blender. Add to the blender the garlic, the
    coffee, the water, the cinnamon, the oregano, the cumin,
    and the agave nectar. Puree until smooth.

    Coat the lamb with the chile puree, and let it marinate
    covered in the refrigerator for 4 hours.

    Set the oven @ 250ºF/120ºC.

    In a roasting pan, coat the bottom with some of the
    marinade. Place the onions and carrots on top of the
    marinade and then top this with the lamb.

    Tightly cover the pan with foil, and then cook in the
    oven covered for 4 hours or until fork tender.

    Shred meat with forks and serve in tortillas with
    cilantro, onions and salsa.

    Since my BBS is considered the "home" of COOKING for the network, my stats
    are more for the sysops who carry this echo to keep track of traffic flow,
    et cetera. As it is, I leave out half of the information that report can generate. What Dale's system sees and what mine might see might be two different things and that's why I post my report. It's not just for my own guilty pleasure; my system generates an internal report that's well over
    2000 lines long for mail information. Remember that I have not one but four Fidonet feeds to keep track of and I get echomail from different places so I like to keep up on all of that.

    If I do post that monthly, skip it. If it doesn't interest you, that's fine by me but as the moderator of the echo and a sysop, I do like to share statistics about what is one of the busiest echoes in Fidonet.

    Speaking of messages, did you get my messasge to you on my BBS about your recipe collection? I've assimilated most of what Bill gave me. He gave me
    so much that I had to create two databases to hold it all. I also imported
    a little over 110,000 recipes that I collected myself. So now, between everything, I estimate I've got a quarter-million recipes. Of course, I figure that 10-15% are probably duplicates.

    Categories: Muffins, Microwave, Breads

    2 c Unbleached Flour

    400 degrees F. for 15 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in

    6 cup microwave-safe muffin pan, line each with 2 paper baking cups to
    absorb moisture during baking. Fill cups half-full. Sprinkle top of
    each muffin with cornflake crumbs. Microwave 6 muffins on HIGH for 2
    1/2 to 3 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out
    clean, rotating pan a half-turn halfway through baking. Remove
    muffins from pan and immediatedly discard outer baking cups. Cool 1
    minute on wire rack before serving. Repeat with remaining batter.

    When I import recipes I tell MM "Copy to IMPORT.DUP". Then I read the
    .DUP file and do a manual comparo to see if it's really the same recipe.

    If I didn't care about dupes I'd use "ALWAYS IMPORT" and let the devil
    take the hindmost for drive space.

    Then, of course, there is Master Cook, which I bought on CD in a fit of
