CUT OF THE MONTH

Lamb Leg

HAM#4820

Derived from the hindquarter, there are two legs per animal accounting for around 30% of the total lamb carcase. Leg is prepared by the removal of the chump using a right angle cut at the back of the hip bone.

The shank is usually tipped at the caudal level of the shin meat on the tibia. A thin layer of covering fat is generally left to assist in retaining juiciness during cooking. Tender and flavoursome, the leg is traditionally roasted whole or deboned and butterflied; however, its three distinct muscles – knuckle, silverside and topside, can be sub-primaled to create a range of smaller roasts, steaks and chops.
