Lamb breast

[Bessie]

Hi

Not sure how many replies I'll get to this as I think lamb breast is more eaten in the UK rather than the US (but I am very happy to be proved wrong!!) I just had a good sort out in the freezer and found about 3 (we rear our own lambs so these are left over after all the other good bits have gone!) I often use them boned and rolled (stuffed) but these are whole with bones in. Anyone have a good recipe they can share??

Dribbling in anticipation!

Why would anyone want to eat a sweet little lamb?

[Determinator]

I would!

Bessie, it's rolled up like in little pinwheels? it's not a very common cut here so I'm not sure if I'm thinking of the right thing

I happen to love lamb but have never had lamb breast. I think it would be delish rolled with spinach and feta.

and a few Greek black olives. gotta get some garlic somewhere in there too...

Yeah, yeah - that's the idea! I'll be trying those combinations definitely. It is very fatty but if cooked right the fat can be cooked out. I'll give it a try. Currently experimenting with a slow cook recipes, then chill the meat, then cut it into strips and breadcrumb it, then back into a quick hot oven. Serve with some sort of piquant sauce. A French recipe.

Ta muchly.

MMMm.... sounds yum. I'll rummage around and see if I have got another breast piece. I am sure I will have. I tend to get left with those but they are really tasty if cooked well.
