About Lamb, Australian, imported, fresh, leg, sirloin half, boneless, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8" fat, raw
Lamb and mutton are the meat of domestic sheep (Ovis aries), with lamb coming from animals under a year old and mutton from older sheep; lamb is tender and mild while mutton is firmer with a deeper, gamier flavor. A staple across the Middle East, the Mediterranean, India, and the British Isles, this red meat has a distinctive rich, savory taste and is prized for cuts from the leg, shoulder, loin chops, rack, and shank.
Lamb is an excellent source of high-quality protein, vitamin B12, zinc, iron, niacin, and selenium, though it is higher in saturated fat than poultry, so leaner cuts and moderate portions are wise. Tender cuts are roasted, grilled, or pan-seared to a rosy medium, while tougher shoulder and shank are braised or stewed low and slow until meltingly soft, and ground lamb stars in burgers, kebabs, koftas, and curries.
Choose firm, pink-red meat with white fat, and store lamb chilled, using fresh cuts within a few days or freezing them.
