Grandma Maggio's Spaghetti Sauce
This Italian tomato sauce from Grandma is one that was recited to me, from memory alone, and used descriptions like "a hand of garlic," though the quantities listed now should be accurate. I encourage buying the cheapest versions of these ingredients you can find; it will feed an army for about $15 without ruining the taste. You should add more seasonings based on preference. A great vegetarian sauce, or with meatballs, makes great meatball sandwiches.
Grilled Lamb Shoulder Chops with Fresh Mint Jelly
This lamb shoulder chop recipe includes the classic pairing of grilled lamb chops with homemade mint jelly which is a delicious combination. I marinade the lamb shoulder in pomegranate juice with garlic and rosemary for a fantastic flavor.
