Dorper Lambs are the only meat lambs approved to carry the designation lamb beyond 12 months because they maintain their tenderness into the second year. We just butchered a big lamb from last year’s spring, 106 pounds of tender meat, enough for the year.

We mince lamb meat and mince beef to make kebabs the size of american hotdogs, 2 ounces, 57 grams. The meats are mixed with spices and sparkling water and baking soda which marinade and tenderize the meats when rested overnight.

These kebabs were broiled medium rare, half of them broiled on barbecue and other half broiled in air fryer. Both are delicious. We keep them in the fridge to reheat for luncheons and dinners with tzaziki sauce and puffed new harvest potatoes, or spicy green mango in pepper sauce.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
