KNOW YOUR LAMB CUTS
Know your cuts!!
Ground Lamb: Mellow and mildly flavored, ground lamb contains lean meat and trimmings from the leg, loin, rib, shoulder, flank, neck, breast or shanks. Readily available and the perfect substitute for ground beef in many recipes.
Loin Chops: Loin chops are lean, tender and delicious! With their perfect 3- to 4-ounce serving size and attractive “T” shaped bone that runs through the meat, loin chops (sometimes called T-bone chops) are simple to prepare.
Shank: Lean on fat but big on flavor, the meaty shank is perfect for braising in a slow, simmering broth. Shanks come in both foreshanks and hindshanks.
Rib Chops: Cut from the upper ribs, the rack is an icon of fine dining menus throughout the country and is usually the most expensive cut of lamb, with highly tender and delicious meat. These are also sometimes referred to as a lamb lollipop.
