Choosing & preparing lamb
How to choose
Look for firm, pink-red meat with white (not yellow) fat. Quick cuts: chops and rack; slow cuts: shoulder, shank and leg for braising and roasting.
Prep & storage
Lamb loves bold seasoning — garlic, rosemary, cumin and mint cut through its richness. Trim excess fat, and rest after cooking as you would beef.
When is it done?
Best served pink at 55–60°C / 130–140°F for chops and racks; tougher cuts go low and slow until meltingly tender.
Nutrition
Rich in complete protein, iron, zinc and B vitamins, with more flavour-carrying fat than lean beef.
Classic flavour partners: rosemary, garlic, mint, cumin, yoghurt, lemon
