I grilled some lamb loin chops last night, had one of the leftovers for lunch today - it was kinda like eating a miniature T-bone or Porterhouse, 4.5oz before I cooked it, these were Australian lamb and honestly, tasted just like beef. I grilled some mushrooms & pan seared some green beans, and the mash is actually lentils. They went from "undercooked" to "heavily seasoned mashed lentils" in the blink of an eye, does anyone have a good recipe & process for lentils, because they are fairly new to me and come out that way every time.
-Lamb - internet says ~220cals, I'm going with that for now
-Mushrooms -35cals prob less since there were not a ton leftover
-green beans - 31cals I guess?
-lentils 170cal - this started out as roughly 1.6oz of raw lentils
-evoo -120
Total: 576 - a little more than I was aiming for, lentils are more calorically dense than I thought, maybe I'd have them as the main protein source if I were going meatless, that or just have a smaller portion, but I'm going to finish what I've cooked anyways.
Still trying to eat less & move more.
I just finished "The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes" which I very much enjoyed, but it's time to jump back into something I haven't read in a very long time; don't panic, I've got my towel.

Lamb should taste like lamb. If it tastes like beef there's something wrong.

If it tastes like lamb it's mutton. ;-) (Sorry, not a fan of either).

Lamb tastes significantly different based on origin & breed, maybe this particular Australian lamb is just milder tasting, I also eat it black and blue & treated it like steak seasoning wise (s&p) my MIL makes an amazing leg of lamb, but it's heavily spiced, completely different than these little guys

Yes lamb can be very mild, even bland, but it's still lamb and should not taste like beef, any more than turkey should taste like tuna.
