Lamb is a versatile and flavorful protein that can be cooked in various ways, depending on the cut. Lamb chops are best grilled or pan-seared, leg of lamb is ideal for roasting, while shoulder and shank benefit from slow cooking or braising.
To bring out its rich taste, season lamb with classic flavors like garlic, rosemary, and thyme, or experiment with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern spices. Cooking methods vary: grill or pan-sear for a quick meal, roast for a special dinner, or slow-cook for tender, fall-apart meat.
No matter the method, allowing the lamb to rest before serving ensures juicy and tender results. Mastering how to cook lamb will elevate your meals, making them both simple and impressive.
