I ate my first nem in Paris with a cousin of the family from Vietnam. She prepared the all meal, with soup, nems, crab omelet, pork caramel... So incredible meal. So my mom learned how to make the nems from her. And we learned from my mom. The recipe is not too difficult and the only labour comes from rolling the nems, but it's well worth it since the whole family loves them.   Ingredients: Rice Paper (to be immersed in hot water till soft - and only just before being filled) 500 gr (1bs) ground Pork 200 gr of Crab meat 50 gr Black dried Mushroom 100 gr Chinese Vermicille 1 Onion 3 Carrots 3 Egg Herbs: dill, tarragon, parsley Salt Pepper Ground all ingredients together - add salt & pepper to taste. Roll the nems together... In a medium high pan, start to fry the nems for a minimum of 10 minutes. To serve: Salad Leaves (e.g. Iceberg) Fresh Mint Leaves Dipping Sauce - Nuoc Mam: (not for everyone) 8 Tbsp fish sauce 6 Tbsp fresh lim...

I was thinking to do a roast lamb but my kids don't really like it this way.  So I decided to do a stew!

Anyway, it tastes good!   Ingredients 2 yellow onions 1 cup cooking oil, divided 1 1/2 gallons chicken stock 1/2 head garlic 1 teaspoon salt 1 leg of lamb 3 cups dry white wine Salt and freshly ground pepper Your choice fresh herbs, minced, to taste Directions: Trim the meat of fat and connective tissue, then cut in 3/4 inch cubes.
