Frequently Asked Questions for Chrismas Lamb & Mutton
How do I cook Lamb Shoulder?
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Mix rosemary, oil, salt, and pepper, and rub over the lamb shoulder. Place halved onions and stock in a roasting dish, then set a rack on top and place the lamb on the rack. Roast for 30 minutes until browned, then reduce the oven to 150°C, cover with foil, and roast for 3-4 hours until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.
How do I cook Lamb Shank?
Preheat the oven to 220°C/Gas 7. Rub lamb shanks with rapeseed oil, salt, and pepper, then roast for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, sauté chopped onions, sliced garlic, bay leaves, and rosemary in a casserole pan. Reduce the oven to 140°C/Gas 1. Transfer the shanks to the casserole, add tomatoes and stock, stir, and stew in the oven for 2.5 to 3 hours until the meat is tender and the sauce thickens, adding water or stock as needed.
What is the difference between Mutton, Hogget & Lamb?
There are various definitions of lamb, but the most widely accepted is a sheep up to 1 year old. You can find lamb available in the market as young as 3 months old, which to us feels completely wrong. We rear a flock of sheep that straddles the bracket of lamb and hogget. Hogget is widely accepted as a sheep that is older than 1 year and under 2 years. Mutton can be anything from 2 years old.
What is Grass Fed Lamb?
Once weaned from natural mother's milk, our Suffolk lambs are weaned on to pasture and forage crops. In the depths of winter, our sheep will eat silage cut from the farm and they might also have forage crops such as brassicas, turnips, fodder beet and kale. Our lambs are grass fed and grass finished, eating pasture and forage for their entire lives. The key to the best lamb is slow, natural growth to maturity, eating a natural diet without the use of any artificial, rapid fattening or growth promoters.
