The leg and rack are the most tender cuts of meat on a lamb, and are at their best when roasted. Roasting is a "dry heat" cooking method, meaning that you do not add any liquid to the meat as you cook it. Tougher cuts of lamb, such as shank and shoulder, are best for braising and stewing.

Does lamb shoulder have bone?

Lamb shoulder contains a lot of tissue and fat, so is best in dishes with long cooking times. You should find the edge of it running along one side of the lamb shoulder. Use your fingers to feel where the blade bone is situated inside the meat. You need to cut the bone free.

What do lamb ribs taste like?

It is a very distinctive taste; it's one that we all recognize. It's one that some people love, and some people really, really don't love. But what it all comes down to is its fat and a particular type of fatty acid that lambs have that beef doesn't. It's what gives lamb this gamy, more earthy taste than beef.

Is Lamb a red meat?

A: Lamb is a "red meat" because it's high in myoglobin, a protein in muscle that turns red when combined with oxygen. The same is true of beef, pork, and veal. Poultry is a so-called "white meat" because it has less myoglobin. One problem with red meat is that it is usually high in saturated fat.
