I haven't had lamb for some time now but when I do, I prefer to have baked lamb. Not just baked lamb, but baked lamb the way my wife does it. Oh! the flavour; the tenderness; the succulency (now that's a big word!) of “fall off the bone” lamb smothered in a complementary sauce is an experience into taste……Mmm, Mmm Mmm! I'm actually salivating as I write 🙂
The Best Baked Lamb
This Lamb recipe I would call a simply trini cooking original because of the trini way in which we prepare it. To begin, we season the lamb with all the local herbs together with some of our famous green seasoning. Then the meat is marinated overnight: real trinistyle. Afterward the lamb meat is pressure cooked to make it tender and help the seasoning further infuse, deep into the lamb. Then it is placed into a flavour laden blanket of sauce to bake. When the lamb is finished, you could chew right down to the bones: talk about tender!
So, are you ready to try out our original trini recipe for Baking lamb? I hope you are. It's very simple really. Just follow the steps and you'll be on your way to making everyone in your family worship the very ground you walk on…….well, maybe for a short time until all the baked lamb is gone lol 😀 Here's Baked Lamb Trinistyle.

Gotta try this!
what other way can you cook the lamb if you don’t have a pressure cooker?
Plain boiling would do but it would take a little longer. Pressure cooking just speeds up the cooking process. To help tenderize the meat you could also add some pieces of chopped green papaya while boiling.
