Ground lamb

Ground lamb has a distinctive, rich flavor with a subtle gamey note. It is a staple ingredient in Middle Eastern, Greek, and Turkish cuisines, used in kebabs, kofta, moussaka, stuffed vine leaves, and meatballs. It also works well in burgers, Bolognese sauce, and stuffed vegetables. Ground lamb has a higher fat content than chicken, but this fat provides juiciness and full-bodied flavor. It pairs excellently with spices such as cumin, coriander, cinnamon, mint, and garlic. It is typically made from shoulder or leg cuts. Ground lamb is a rich source of protein, iron, zinc, and vitamin B12.
