Lamb Cutlet

Last updated: 23.01.2021

In comparison to the Mediterranean countries, Africa, and India, very little lamb meat is consumed in Germany. Only about 1 kilogram of this healthy meat ends up on each German's plate annually as roast or lamb cutlet. In our country, mainly fresh goods from our own regions (from Holstein to Bavaria) are offered. However, these account for only about 40 percent of the entire supply.

Lamb Cutlet

Frozen Lamb Cutlet

The remaining 60 percent mostly come from frozen lamb cuts from New Zealand. Among these, one can find various lamb meat parts in the freezer, including lamb cutlets. By the way, lamb cutlets are also often cut from the juicy rib.

Lamb Cutlet in a Restaurant or Homemade

Would be more appreciated by some gourmet chefs if it were cooked on their own stove. When searching through a menu and seeing the word "lamb," most guests might smell ham, but lamb cutlets have nothing to do with ham. The lambs whose meat is used must not exceed one year of age. Lamb meat is lighter in color compared to dark red ham and has a typical sheep taste that older animals develop. The fat of lamb meat is almost white; the fat of sheep has a yellowish color.

Interesting Facts about the Taste of Lamb Cutlet

The taste of lamb meat mainly depends on which pastures the lambs graze on. Since the lambs in New Zealand are on pasture all year round, these lamb cutlets and naturally all other lamb parts have a delicate and slightly sweet taste. Lamb meat from Germany can be described as tender, aromatic, and juicy.

Cooking of Lamb Cutlet

The preparation of lamb cutlets is similar to that of other types of meat; however, appropriate seasonings such as fennel, tarragon, garlic, mint, oregano, rosemary, and thyme enhance the special enjoyment of this meal. Lamb meat is extremely healthy and digestible and contains less fat than beef and pork. Particularly lean are lamb cutlets from the juicy rib. They should always be sliced against the grain and no thicker than a centimeter. Lamb meat has excellent nutritional value and is especially recommended to diabetics. Iron, which is important for blood formation and oxygen transport, is also found in lamb meat. For those who want to try lamb meat despite their aversion, a wonderfully juicy lamb cutlet would be particularly recommended.
