Spring is in the air! Lamb on the grill!
Mothersday in Holland (and a lot of places around the world, afaik). Yesterday was a fantastic day in the Nehterlands and temperatures were in the 20’s. (Celcius that is, of course). Great breakfast with the kids, and took a nice trip around Friesland, which looked beautiful with it’s nature and water. Lots of boats and loads of sun! What can go wrong? Nothing!

Lamb chops, Belgian Style, with asparagus
So, it’s spring time in Holland and there are a few things I really love about spring time. 2 Of the favorites of those things are Lamb and Asparagus! Combine that with my love of the grill and we have the basics for a great recipe for Lamb. I wanted to do this belgian style, which means living the good life! Beer and Mustard… Lovely.
To start with the marinade, I mixed up the following ingredients.
- 1/4 cup of mustard (with seeds)
- 1/2 cup of chopped onion
- 2 cloves of garlic, very well chopped
- 2 tablespoons of freshly cut rosemary (although I used the dried version)
- 1 cup of belgian wheatbeer (I used La Trappe, as you can see in the picture below)
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons of Extra Vergine Olive Oil

Smoked Salmon from a Cedar wood plank
On a short notice, we got the word that some friends would come over today, and I happen to know they love salmon. What better way of making a visit of friends even better? By giving them what they want, of course. And I shall.
Defrosted a piece of salmon, around 600gr, and cleaned it from fishbones. For the rub, I used the following.
- 2 tablespoons of dill
- 2 tablespoons of coarsely ground peper
- 1 tablespoon of mustard powder
- 1 cup of firmly pressed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup of sea salt
Honey glazed ham, love it!
Lazy monday, kings day in the Netherlands, and the weather is goohood! Again! Even though all the weather guys and dolls told us otherwise.
I have a little ham lying around that’s just begging me to be eaten today. Who am I to disappoint such a nice little ham?
After careful consideration of the ham’s feelings, I kind of pushed him to go into a nice honey glaze on the OTP using the indirect grilling method. He agreed, and so it shall be done.
