Kosher Dosher...“I am a culinary Heretic"

I made this Lamb Grind for Burgers but I could see using it in many recipes.   Lamb Breast aka Lamb Belly Lamb Bacon Cut into chunks and partially frozen. I used the following ratios: 48% Leg of Lamb, 45% Lamb Breast, and 7% Lamb Bacon. 14 Pounds

This sauce is the bomb!! I've been making variants of Puttnescae Sauces for years ( Link 1 , 2 ), and this one is unique because I think it makes an excellent base for several other dishes.

Lower flame/heat to the lowest setting.  Now add Butter, Herb cream cheese, Pecorino cheese, and the seasoning. Taste and adjust for salt, pepper, and other seasonings. Remove from heat, and when it gets between 130-135, it will be time to temper the eggs.  You can adjust this recipe to suit your palate but to make the waffle the bread crumbs and eggs are a must!! Start tempering the eggs by adding 2-3 Tbl of Polenta. After...
