REASONS TO LOVE LAMB
Whether you are planning a traditional Sunday roast, or looking to try something completely different, the versatility of lamb means there are so many reasons to cook with it. Here, we list just a few of them.
VERSATILE
You can use lamb to create delicious, wholesome meals in minutes. It is available in a variety of cuts that can be used in burgers, casseroles, curries, salads, skewers, roasts, wraps and more. Don’t be afraid to ask your local butcher about the thickness of cut to suit the recipe you have in mind and the best ways to prepare the meat.
NUTRITIOUS
As an ingredient, Scotch Lamb is high in protein and a good source of B vitamins which help reduce tiredness and fatigue and support red blood cell production. It also contains zinc which benefits the immune system.
TASTY
Scotch Lamb can transform even the most basic recipes into something really appealing. From the traditional shepherd’s pie to a Moroccan tagine, lamb is the star ingredient. Midweek meals can be created in a flash, with a juicy steak ready under the grill in just 10 minutes.
SUSTAINABLE
Scotch Lamb is naturally-reared and makes best use of hillsides and land that would not otherwise be used agriculturally. This makes it an excellent choice for those conscious of the environment and land use.
