Looking to buy a leg of lamb? For elevated dining, you must prioritise excellence by choosing the best possible cut of meat. But what exactly makes the best leg of lamb? What should you be looking for? Here are some helpful things to bear in mind when it comes to selecting your leg of lamb.
If you're unsure about choosing a quality leg of lamb, simply speak with our friendly staff. We are skilled purveyors of fine meats who love to help our customers whenever possible. Your dining pleasure is ours too.
A leg of lamb is a cut of lamb taken from the animal's hind legs, as the name suggests. A lean and sizeable cut, leg of lamb can be further divided into smaller cuts by a lamb leg butcher or served whole. It's best suited for roasting and will reward patient chefs with perfect succulence.
Lamb of a pinkish nature is excellent for all lamb recipes. Don’t overcook your family’s favourites. You'll be able to enjoy a considerably more tender blend of flavour and volume by cooking it pink.
This will depend on your recipe and how well done you prefer it. We advise you to confirm how cooked lamb is using a meat thermometer since colour is not always a reliable guide. This will ensure delicious mouth-watering success every time. Reference temperatures for the different levels of doneness are below.
Firstly, you should never thaw meat by running it under the tap or on the kitchen bench. The safest way is to thaw it in the fridge. Place it there 24 to 48 hours before you'll be cooking with it. A boneless lamb leg will be thawed within 24 hours, and a bone-in lamb leg will take around 36 hours.
We typically advise that a 1kg leg of lamb is a good quantity for serving 3-4 people, ensuring 200g of juicy, tender meat per person. If in doubt, err on the side of pleasure. There's no harm in buying a fraction too much leg of lamb since leftovers can be repurposed for delicious lunches and snacks. After all, too little leg of lamb might well make for some rather grumbly dining companions!
You can purchase your lamb leg online from Peter Bouchier. We offer expedited lamb leg delivery across Melbourne. Or, if you prefer, pop in and have a chat with our passionate team and peruse our lamb range for yourself in person. While you’re there, feel free to ask our friendly team for advice on the best lamb leg preparation techniques and accompaniments - we’d be very happy to help.
Leg of lamb is pivotal in a variety of rich dishes packed with diverse flavours. You'll find it featured in a host of international recipes like:
Looking for lamb shoulder, lamb cutlets, lamb loin or other lamb family favourites? You’ll find an extensive range of lip-smacking lamb available from the passionate team at Peter Bouchier and a whole host of recipe ideas. With mouth-watering ingredients and flavours to suit every taste, you and your loved ones will be dining out in perfect lamby bliss… till the cows come home.
