Farm-Fresh Tips for Cooking Ground Lamb
Ground lamb is rich, savory, and versatile—perfect for burgers, meatballs, shepherd’s pie, or Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Here’s how we prepare it at Fields of Athenry.
Season Boldly – Lamb pairs beautifully with garlic, rosemary, oregano, cumin, or mint. Don’t be shy with the herbs and spices.
Keep it Juicy – Avoid overmixing when shaping burgers or meatballs—gentle handling keeps the meat tender.
Cook Hot & Fast – For burgers or patties, sear over medium-high heat for a caramelized crust.
Know Your Temps – Ground lamb should be cooked to 160°F for safety, while still staying juicy and flavorful.
Try Global Flavors – From Greek lamb meatballs to Middle Eastern kofta or spiced lamb tacos, ground lamb shines in a variety of cuisines.
Serve with Balance – Pair its richness with bright sides like cucumber salad, lemony yogurt sauce, or fresh herbs.
From Farm to Feast—happy cooking!
