There is no denying the popularity of lamb meat in Australia. But with rising costs of everything at the moment for some it feels out of reach to include in your regular diet. Introducing – lamb mince! It’s not only versatile for a range of different meals and cuisines, but it’s much more affordable and can fit into many budgets.
Lamb is a wonderfully flavoursome meat that can be incorporated into many dishes. It goes brilliantly with Moroccan, Greek and Middle Eastern Spices, but is also a common ingredient in burgers, sausage rolls and meat pies.
If you want to speed up the cooking process for mid-week meals, go for a fresh lamb mince from your butcher or supermarket. We’ve pulled together a selection of our favourite lamb mince recipes for quick, tasty, flavour-packed family dinners.
From our lamb, spinach and fetta family pie, to our stuffed vine leaves and Turkish flat-breads, there is something for every tastebud here.
