Lamb Rips
양고기 갈비이다.
울월스에서 키로에 29불 하는 아주 비싼 녀석이다.
평소에 램을 즐겨먹진 않는다. 사실 램을 엄청 좋아하는데 없어서 못먹는 것이었다. 소고기나 돼지고기에 비해 가격이 비싸기 때문에, 그리고 요리하기도 번거롭기 때문이다.
양고기는 호불호가 갈린다. 특유의 냄새때문에 싫어하는 사람이 많은데, 특별히 냄새를 잡는 방법은 없는 것 같다. 그리고 난 오히려 그 냄새를 즐긴다. 그것이 램을 먹는 느낌을 나게 해준다.
우선 램을 물과 white vinegar를 7:3 비율로 하여 재워놓는다. 하루가 지나 꺼내서 한 쪽 지방의 한 겹을 벗겨준다. 그냥 벗겨줬다. 지방층이 좀 두꺼워보여서.
이제 양념을 만들어 Rips에 발라주는데.. 양념은 다음과 같다.
간장
마늘다진것
Cider vinegar
Thyme
Basil
Black pepper
Honey
Brown Sugar
Hickory BBQ Sauce
Tomato Ketchup
양은 다들 적당히 넣어주고 약간 걸쭉한 느낌이 되게끔 만든다. Hickory BBQ의 스모키한 향이 램과 아주 잘 어울린다.
어찌됐든 램 립에 칼집 살짝씩 내어주고 소스발라 한시간 냉장고에 보관했다가 오븐에 구워주는데 오븐트레이에 램을 올리고 Foil로 덮어줬다. 160~170도 50분을 구워주니 아주 맛있게 양갈비가 완성되었다.
이렇게 부드러울 수가 있는가. 고기를 물고 뼈를 잡아당기니 아무런 저항없이, 모든것을 체념한 듯 앙상한 뼈가 덩그러니 내 손에 쥐어져 있었다. 살과 지방이 적당한 비율로 있어 세조각을 남기고 나머지 7조각정도를 개눈감추듯 먹게 되었다.
다음은 내가 가장 좋아하는 Lamb Shanks에 도전 해 봐야겠다.
램의 효능은 다음과 같다.
Protein in Lamb
Like other types of meat, lamb is primarily composed of protein.
The protein content of lean, cooked lamb is usually 25-26% (1).
Lamb meat is a high-quality protein source, containing all of the essential amino acids needed for the body's growth and maintenance.
For this reason, eating lamb, or other types of meat, may be especially beneficial for bodybuilders, recovering athletes, and post-surgical patients.
Simply put, eating meat promotes optimal nutrition whenever muscle tissue needs to be built up or repaired.
Lamb Fat
Lamb contains varying amounts of fat, depending on level of trimming and the animal's diet, age, gender, and feed.
The fat content may range from 17-21% (1).
It is composed of saturated and monounsaturated fats in approximately equal amounts.
Lamb fat (tallow) usually contains slightly higher levels of saturated fat than beef and pork (2).
Intake of saturated fat has long been considered a risk factor for heart disease, but many new studies have not found any link (3, 4, 5, 6, 7).
Ruminant Trans Fats
Lamb tallow contains a family of trans fats, known as ruminant trans fats.
Unlike trans fats found in processed food products, ruminant trans fats are believed to have beneficial effects on health.
The most common ruminant trans fat is conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) (8).
Compared to other ruminant meats, such as beef and veal, lamb contains the highest amounts of conjugated linoleic acid (9).
Conjugated linoleic acid has been linked with various health benefits, such as reduced body fat mass, but large amounts in supplements may have adverse effects on metabolic health (10, 11, 12).
Vitamins and Minerals
Lamb is a rich source of many vitamins and minerals.
These are the most abundant ones:
Vitamin B12: Important for blood formation and the function of the brain, vitamin B12 is only found in animal-derived foods, and is absent from vegan diets. Deficiency in vitamin B12 may cause anemia and neurological damage.
Selenium: Meat is often a rich source of selenium, although this depends on the feed of the source animal. Selenium has various important functions in the body (13).
Zinc: Found in high amounts in lamb, zinc is usually much better absorbed from meat than plants. It is an essential mineral that is important for growth and the formation of hormones, such as insulin and testosterone.
Niacin: Also called vitamin B3, niacin serves a variety of important functions in the body. Inadequate intake of niacin has been linked with increased risk of heart disease (14).
Phosphorus: Found in most foods, phosphorus is essential for body growth and maintenance.
Iron: Lamb is a rich source of iron, mostly in form of heme iron, which is highly bioavailable and is absorbed more efficiently than non-heme iron found in plants (15).
In addition to these, lamb contains a number of other vitamins and minerals in lower amounts.
Sodium (salt) may be particularly high in some processed lamb products, such as cured lamb.
Health Benefits of Lamb
As a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and high-quality proteins, lamb can be an excellent component of a healthy diet.
Maintenance of Muscle Mass
Meat is one of the best dietary sources of high-quality protein.
In fact, it contains all of the amino acids we need and is referred to as a "complete" protein source.
High-quality protein is very important for the maintenance of muscle mass, especially in elderly people.
Inadequate protein intake may accelerate and worsen age-related muscle wasting, increasing the risk of sarcopenia, an adverse condition associated with very low muscle mass (26).
In the context of a healthy lifestyle and adequate exercise, regular consumption of lamb, or other high-protein foods, may help preserve muscle mass.
