Recipes with Lamb & Mutton
Fattier and far more assertive than beef, and the recipes below lean into that rather than hiding it. Two rules recur: mince for kebabs wants 20% fat or it falls off the skewer, and slow-cooked shoulder is nearly impossible to overdo — it goes tough long before it goes tender, so if it is chewy at ninety minutes the answer is another hour.
10 free recipes below, every one with a full ingredient list and step-by-step method. They run across Turkish, Greek and Malaysian kitchens. On FoodNeverComes the food never actually arrives — so these are the ones you make yourself.
