The Perfect Lamb Dinner
Feel free to whip up your favorite potato recipe as a side, and top off the meal with a rich and delicious dessert like Buttermilk Pie.
Barbecued Lamb
- 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
- 1 teaspoon hickory smoked salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon celery salt
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup corn oil
- salt and pepper
- 6-pound leg of lamb
Blend ingredients and marinate lamb several hours. Smoke, covered, over low coals about 25 minutes per pound or until meat thermometer registers desired degree of doneness. Baste frequently. Let rest 20 minutes at room temperature before carving.
- 1 pound mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons minced onion
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon sherry
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Remove mushroom stems and mince; saute stems with onions in butter until limp. Add cream, sherry and seasonings and cook slowly until thick, stirring constantly, 10-15 minutes. Fill mushroom caps with mixture and place on greased baking sheet. At this point mushrooms may be refrigerated or frozen. When ready to serve, broil until brown and bubbling.
Plantation Tomatoes (while they’re still in season!)
- 8 tomatoes, at their peak
- 2 fresh green hot peppers, minced, or 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 to 2 tablespoons minced green or red onions
- salt and pepper to taste
Peel and cut tomatoes into wedges, removing every woody part. Toss with remaining ingredients. Chill several hours. The secret of this dish is to select perfectly ripened tomatoes and to use only the best sections.

Thanks For A Great 2014!
We wanted to take this time to thank all of you for making 2014 the most successful year in the history of Passanante’s Home Food Service! We have the best customers in the world!
With your help we were able to accomplish so much over the last 12 months:
In February we kicked off our sponsorship with the Baltimore Area Special Hockey team thanks to customers Doug and Amanda Stowell!
March was a BIG month for Passanante’s Home Food Service as we opened an office in North Carolina and began shipping our delicious food into the Tarheel state. Passanante’s was also very proud to promote a new executive when Tom Fahey accepted a role as our Vice President of Sales and Service. Congratulations Tom!
In April we launched the much awaited Passanante’s Food Fans Club.
Our first of two shipments of our delicious mac and cheese went out to the Blue Star mothers and the USO in May. The quick heat and eat products were used at BWI airport to feed a hot meal to our soldiers returning from overseas.
We observed National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October and with the help of all of our customers, friends and family we were able to donate $2,500 to the American Cancer Society.
In mid-October the great people at Slicks Graphics outfitted our delivery trucks with awesome new graphics and towards the end of the month we launched our new and improved products section on the website!
In late November we delivered more than 300 holiday sample bags as we wrapped up our Big Holiday Promotion. As a reward for their referrals, Passanante customers were sent certificates totaling more than 225lbs in FREE filet mignon steaks!
And finally, in December Passanante’s was awarded Broich Industries “Dealer of the Year” for the second year in a row. Broich is the exclusive manufacturer of the commercial freezers sold by in-home food service companies throughout all of North America. Their award designates Passanante’s as the fastest-growing home food service company on the entire continent.
