Cooking Tips for Easter Lamb Recipes

What is the best way to cook lamb to keep it tender?

Slow roasting or braising lamb at a low temperature helps ensure it stays tender and moist. Marinating before cooking can also tenderize the meat.

How do you know when lamb is cooked to perfection?

Lamb is cooked to perfection when it reaches the desired internal temperature: 145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium, and 170°F for well done.

Can you cook lamb from frozen?

It's not recommended to cook lamb from frozen as it can cook unevenly. Thawing it in the refrigerator before cooking is ideal.

What herbs and spices pair well with lamb?

Rosemary, thyme, garlic, mint, and oregano are classic herbs that complement lamb, while cumin, coriander, and paprika can add a spicy kick.

How do you prevent lamb from drying out when cooking?

Keeping the lamb covered while roasting, using a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking, and letting it rest before cutting can prevent it from drying out.
