    Spring for lamb

    by Robin Barr Sussman Illustration by Chris Hsu

    When spring arrives, we think of new beginnings. So along with asparagus and spring peas,
    fragrant, earthy lamb starts appearing on seasonal menus. We set out to sample some of the citys
    best. From classic roasted lamb entrees to a few surprise dishes, heres where to go out on a lamb.
    BRENNANS OF HOUSTON

    3300 Smith St., 713-522-9711

    Jazzed lamb. You can always find a


    sensational lamb dish here, either on
    the daily changing menu or the holiday
    menu (think #Mothers Day). From
    the new wood-burning grill, look for
    tangy Creole mustard-crusted Colorado
    lamb chops served with Brussels sprouts,
    roasted sweet potatoes, Texas lamb bacon
    (yes!) and mint Julep sauce (double
    yes). We approve.

    HELEN GREEK FOOD AND WINE

    Greek treat. Chef William Wright


    creates a modern take on the Greek
    lamb meatball starter with this hearty
    blend of lamb with beef. The six Cypriot
    meatballs, which are pan roasted until
    still juicy, come sauce-less but with a

    KIRANS

    4100 Westheimer Rd., 713-960-8472

    Lamb central. Kiran Vermas Indian


    stalwart serves about five lamb dishes,
    but the berry demi-glace lamb rack
    grabbed us at first bite. Its coated in a
    masala-coffee spice rub, then marinated
    and cooked carefully in the tandoori
    so it is moist and rosy. Garnished with
    blackberry demi-glace, spring onions and
    rosemary, these chops are gorgeous.

    Classic rack. Sometimes if you want


    the biggest and best lamb chops, you
    have to go to a fine steakhouse. This
    prized Colorado lamb rack is butchered
    in-house and gets some dry aging before
    being cooked to specs in a high-tech
    vertical broiler. The result is sweet, mild
    and tender plump chops served the
    classic way, with mint jelly.

    PONDICHERI

    2800 Kirby Dr., 713-522-2022

    Ba-aah bomb. This giant lamb mint


    burger is a mainstay on the menu and
    now we know why. First, it blows the
    standard beef burger away on major patty
    flavor. Second, the spicy, creamy cilantro
    chutney and onion masala spread on
    the buttery brioche buns creates a taste
    sensation in every bite. The house-made
    feta spread on top of the meat doesnt
    hurt a thing either. Oh, take it away.
    PRICE $12

    RUGGLES BLACK

    3963 Kirby Dr., 832-530-4493

    Exotic topper. For something truly


    different, sample the lamb pie. Not only
    is this a great pizza but a great rendition
    of a lamb pizza. The puffy, wood-fired
    crust perfectly cradles generous fillings of
    crumbled spicy Black Hills Ranch lamb
    sausage, sweet roasted cherry tomatoes,
    scallions and red onions, plus Indian
    spices. Try to stop at one slice.
    PRICE $19.50
