15 Amazing Lamb Recipes

Spring is in the air, which for many people means lamb will be on the menu pretty frequently for the next month or two. These amazing lamb recipes go beyond the traditional roast to highlight just a few of the incredible ways you can incorporate this versatile meat into your meals.

What We Love About Lamb

Lamb is such a great way to break up the chicken-pork-beef-fish rotation that we fall into so easily. It’s a great source of protein and nutrients, and depending on how it was raised, it’s a good source of fat, too. The way the lamb was raised (especially the diet it was fed) also affects how strong or mild the lamb flavor in your dish will be, but in general it’s a little gamey and a little smokey. When it’s cooked right, lamb is tender and juicy and just all-around delicious.

I won’t say no to an incredible roasted lamb chop with a side of green beans almondine and garlic mashed potatoes, and sure, that’s a mouth-watering dinner – but there are so many other amazing ways to enjoy lamb that I just had to share a few!
