Ground lamb meat can come from a variety of different cuts, ensuring that every part of the animal is thoughtfully utilized and minimizing waste.
How Can I Cook It?
Use ground lamb instead of ground beef for a flavorful spin on classic dishes. Lamb burgers seasoned with Greek herbs, such as oregano and fenugreek, are an exciting alternative to traditional burgers. Try braising lamb meatballs in a sweet and spicy tomato sauce and serving them with cous cous. The undisputed king of ground lamb recipes is Shepherd’s Pie – ground lamb is sautéed with diced vegetables in a rich sauce comprised of stock, tomato paste, herbs, Worcestershire sauce, and possibly hearty red wine. Then the mixture is placed in a baking pan and topped with mashed potatoes and cheddar cheese to create a savory casserole. Ground lamb can be used to make kofta, a ubiquitous Middle Eastern dish comprised of ground meat seasoned with onions, garlic, and spices – sausage link-sized chunks are placed on skewers and grilled over hot charcoal.
