Introduction
For people who cook at home, lamb is not as popular as an option as beef, pork or chicken. Most people think of lamb dishes as those that you can only enjoy in restaurants because of the common misconception that lamb is difficult to cook. But its about time that you find out the truth.
Lamb is easier to prepare than most people realize. Its almost just like cooking beef. The only trick is to let the meat rest for about 15 minutes or so before slicing and serving. Thats not all. Lamb is also one of the healthiest types of red meat available. It is rich not only in protein but also in vitamins, minerals and fatty acids.
This type of red meat contains a high amount of omega 3. This is particularly true for those that are pasture-raised. It is also a great source of B vitamins, especially B12. You can also eat lamb to get high amounts of zinc, selenium, iron and phosphorus. All these health benefits are good reasons to include lamb in your regular menu. Best of all, it is also tender and tasty.
In this book, you will find 50 lamb recipes, most of which are a cinch to make. Even those that require long hours of slow cooking only entails a few minutes of active preparation. So are you ready to get started?
