Easy lamb &

miso ramen

bowls

This easy recipe will have you slurp your noodles like there’s no tomorrow. Deliciously meaty with the ultimate umami flavours created with miso, soy sauce, mushrooms, sesame oil and of course, South African lamb. 

Lamb & coconut Thai

red curry

This beautifully fragrant curry comes together in less than 30 minutes if you’re using boneless meat. Unlike most other stews or curries, the meat is poached in the coconut based sauce instead of frying it first, ensuring a really tender and juicy result.

Lamb sausage

tray pizza

Lamb sausage is beautifully spiced and incredibly juicy when it is kissed with high heat. Removing the casing makes it easy to roll into small balls - very versatile for any kind of meatball recipe, but perfect as a pizza topping!

Lamb piccata

A classic piccata is usually done with veal, but lamb works like a charm. This is such a big flavour result for minimal effort, and it all comes together in just a few minutes. Italian fare at its finest! Serve with your choice of sides or a simple leafy salad.
