HOW TO STORE FRESH LAMB BREAST?
Lamb can be stored in either the refrigerator or freezer, depending on when it will be used. Lamb that will be used with a day or two should be stored in the refrigerator, kept in its original packaging, in the coldest area of the refrigerator.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF LAMB BREAST?
A three-ounce cut of cooked lamb delivers about 25 grams of protein, plus good quantities of potassium and vitamin B-12. It’s also a good source of iron, magnesium, selenium, and omega-3 fatty acids. While that’s good news, lamb is also a source of saturated fat.
WHAT’S THE BEST RECIPE FOR LAMB BREAST?
ROLLED BREAST OF LAMB
Ingredients
- 2 boneless lamb breasts
- 1 tbsp of rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp of thyme, finely chopped
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
- Oil
- 300 ml of red wine
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 170°C/gas mark 3.5,
- Lay the lamb breasts flat, skin side down, and sprinkle with the chopped herbs, plenty of salt, and a few twists of pepper. Tie up tightly as best you can. Get a heavy-bottomed pan hot over a good flame with a splash of oil, and brown the breasts all over, seasoning as you go,
- Transfer to a roasting tray. Add the wine to the frying pan and simmer for a few minutes, scraping up any bits as you go. Tip this over the lamb and cover tightly with foil. Bung in the oven and gently cook for 4 hours,
- Remove the lamb breast to a plate to rest, and leave the juices until the fat rises to the top. Skim this off and discard, then tip the juice into a saucepan and simmer to reduce. You could add butter at this point but in the summer perhaps it’s unnecessary,
- Thickly slice the breast and serve with the juice and whatever sides you’re having.
