How can I cook Lamb Breast (think that's what it is!)

zippychick

Hi Dave Taylor:hello:

I would try them at 20 minutes done at 200, then see how they are. Ribs are fantastic slow cooked - just for future if you have a slow cooker. They are melt in the mouth

This thread should offer some more h elp and suggestion

I'll add your thread to that one later

thanks:)

Zippy, I hope you don;t mind if I butt in The thread you link to is for pork ribs. These are meaty and not too fatty.

Lamb ribs, are more usually known as lamb breast. They're not nearly as meaty, and are often very fatty. We eat them as a deep winter dish, cooked long and slow, with the fat that comes out drained off.

Take a look at this thread for lamb breast.

Good morning all.

Ok I went to the farmers market and picked up a mutton breast for £1.75! That was for a huge piece that is rolled up.

I want to make something nice with it and i'm thinking slow cooker?

I usually do a nice mutton and rosemary stew and dumplings but thats with diced mutton.

I've looked on the internet for ideas but really its been a mixed batch with some saying not to bother with the breast as its too fatty.

Any recipe ideas will be greatly received.

Thanks guys

Hi, my mum does a great recipe, lay the breast out and line it with stuffing or crumbled black pudding, then tie it up around it with a few bits of string into a roll shape and slow roast it. It is a fatty piece of meat but its gorgeous the skin goes all crispy and some of the fat goes into the stuffing flavouring it

We learned how to bone & roll one of these in school cookery lessons, I remember. I put apricot stuffing in mine, spread it on, and rolled up tightly & tied with string and roasted it back at home. It was very nice. I think it's a cheap cut that fell out of favour because it can be fatty but such cuts can always be roasted on a rack so that it isn't sitting in the fat, so definitely worth a try. Wish I'd got one now!

stuffed and rolled mutton breast is something I learnt to make when I was 10, 52 years ago and it was a regular, cheap meal in our house. Lay flat and cut the bones out and then just spread stuffing on and roll and tie with string. Easy peasy

Slow roast it with your choice of stuffing on a rack with spuds and carrots and an onion underneath to roast in the fat.
