Lamb Cut FAQs

What Is The Best Lamb Cut?

All of our delicious cuts are trimmed from the most premium quality lamb on the market, so there’s no definitive answer as to the ‘best’ overall. Your choice entirely depends on the dish you’re looking to create, with each cut lending itself to particular meals.

A tender shank or rack cut gives amazing flavour to a roast, but succulent ribs are a great choice for a BBQ. Or, if you’re looking for inspiration, why not check out our ‘Butterflied Te Mana Lamb Leg’ recipe, which features a sumac, cumin, and yoghurt marinade.

What Cut is a Lamb Chump?

A lamb chump is found on the lower back of the lamb, where the loin meets the leg. They typically offer a generous marbling of fat, keeping the meat succulent and tender. This marbling is caused by the increase in intramuscular fat and is due to the rearing methods used by our farming partners. 

What Cut is a Lamb Rack?

A lamb rack is a selection of ribs, typically including at least four. These ribs come from either side of the backbone, between the loin and the shoulder.

How Should You Cook Lamb?

This will differ between cuts, but here’s some advice:

For lamb chops, you’ll first marinate your lamb chops with the ingredients of your choice. This rub should be left on for at least an hour. Take your lamb chops out of the fridge 20 minutes before you’d like to cook them. Seal the juices in a hot pan, then cook them in the oven for 15 minutes at 180°. Once cooked, allow them to rest for at least ten minutes before serving.

To cook a leg of lamb, make a marinade by blending wild garlic, parsley, cumin, pepper, rosemary, and thyme. Rub this onto your leg of lamb at least 24 hours before cooking. Seal the juices in a pan on high heat before transferring to the oven. Your lamb should be cooked for around 40 minutes in a 170° oven, or until it probes with a centre heat of 40°.

If you’re in charge of cooking for an event like Christmas or Mother’s Day, why not try our ‘Lamb Rack And Hotpot Potatoes’ recipe or check out Tom Hixson recipes for more inspiration?
