About Lamb, New Zealand, imported, frozen, leg, whole (shank and sirloin), separable lean only, raw
Leg of lamb is the classic roasting joint, taken from the animal's hind leg — a relatively lean, tender cut that becomes the centerpiece of Easter and Sunday tables across many cultures. This entry reflects the lean meat only, with the surrounding fat trimmed away.
Trimmed to lean, leg of lamb is about 123 calories per 100 grams raw, offering excellent protein along with vitamin B12, zinc, iron, niacin and selenium. Much of grass-raised lamb's fat is on the surface and easily trimmed, leaving a lean, flavorful meat underneath.
Roasted on the bone or butterflied for the grill, leg of lamb is traditionally studded with garlic and rosemary and cooked to a rosy medium. Slow-roasting brings a softer, fall-apart result; it is also widely sold boned and rolled for easy carving.
