Tesco do extra lean mince but its 3 quid for a fairly small pack. Might be wrong, but from memory it think its below 5% fat. If i cant afford that i just buy the standard stuff, brown it then run hot water over it like other people have suggested. Do it in an empty sink and give it a good rinse afterwards though, otherwise it sets....disgusting!

That will be beef I bet - thats what I buy in beef <5%.

But much harder to get low fat lamb.

Sainsburys do a lower fat lamb mince, cant remember the exact fat content but it was a lot lower than the Tesco one, and nicer, but it was more expensive.

hi sunnygirl ,do you have a makro or costco near you ,i go there for my meat as they have instore butchers ,and although you need to buy bulk it does work out a lot cheaper than the supermarkets ,i usually buy a big bit of rump or sirloin when i am there it costs roughly £35 but out of that i had 36 steaks and a couple of pounds of diced steak .

this works out at less than £1 per piece of steak and these are very generous portions .
i alternate it every month between pork ,lamb ,steak and silverside joints .

they will also mince up lamb if you ask them just choose whichever cut of meat you would like and they will mince it for you free of charge

Perhaps Lamb Meatballs won't taste that good without the fattier mince.
