Lamb tenderloin substitute?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi everyone,

it is this time of the year again where I am cooking from my beloved Eleven Madison park cookbook. I know many dont particularly like this cookbook, but it is my fun annual challenge.
I would like to take on a recipe but I am looking to replace the main protein. I know I cook something else but I am intend in cooking most recipes in this cookbook, getting fairly closer, and this recipe sounds fun.
It is a lamb loin seared and roasted with a morrcoan spice jus, cumin dust, white eggplant puree, sheep milks yogurt

I cant cook with lamb for reasons. I was considering substituing with beef or maybe venison (or whatever else may be appropriate). Does any one have any take on what would be the best alternative? (not veal)

Thanks!

My take is that the recipe you're looking at has components which go very well with lamb.

 

Since you can't cook with lamb, I imagine those components will taste good with chicken, and maybe not so great with beef.
