Lamb mince recipes
Lamb mince is as versatile as beef mince, and offers up so many delicious opportunities for dinner. Grab a packet and make one of these delicious lamb mince recipes from around the globe. Try our recipes for moussaka with feta topping, harissa lamb tacos or minty lamb burgers.
Lamb mince can often be a super-thrifty option compared to other cuts of lamb and can be a great way to feed the family from one pack.
It contains plenty of fat which is a great transmitter of flavour, so it’s particularly brilliant in spicy and slow cooked dishes. From flatbread to burgers, traybakes to ragùs, there are so many ways you could go. Why not check out a meatball recipe or two too, if you’re a fan.
