Great with lamb
Timeless, traditional, and so. damn. delicious. The aroma of the lamb mingling with the wood smoke creates an irresistible temptation. From tender chops to hearty racks, fire-cooked lamb is feast favourite for gatherings, celebrations, or a simple evening meal al fresco.
Tip: Opt for cuts like chops, loin, leg, or shoulder for grilling, as they offer a perfect balance of tenderness and flavor. Trim excess fat to prevent flare-ups and ensure even cooking. Marinate or season generously to enhance the natural flavors with herbs, spices, garlic, olive oil, and acidic ingredients like lemon juice or vinegar. For larger cuts like leg or shoulder, start with indirect heat to slowly cook the meat through, then finish over direct heat to achieve a crispy exterior.
