Why This Works

Lamb shoulder mince is naturally richer than lamb leg mince thanks to its higher level of marbling. The extra fat helps carry herbs and spices while keeping the meat juicy during cooking, making it particularly well suited to BBQs, Mediterranean dishes and other recipes where flavour is the star.

It's also incredibly versatile, working just as well in burgers, shepherd's pie and slow-simmered sauces as it does in traditional koftas and kebabs.

Simple Ways to Cook

🔥 Shape into koftas or kebabs

🔥 Make juicy burgers or meatballs

🔥 Brown for shepherd's pie or rich pasta sauces

Cooking Tip: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before cooking if frozen. If you're unsure of the safest way to thaw frozen meat, read our guide to Safe Thawing Methods.
