Not at my supermarket. I can get it from 2-7 dollars depending on the cut and if its on sale.
It is at mine. I've been trying to locate a good butcher shop to get better quality if I'm going to have to pay high prices for it.

I wouldn't buy it if it was too expensive. You're pay for way too much bone.

I love lamb! I never though I'd try it, but my boyfriend's parents took us to a really nice restaurant and since I'm not a big sea food fan, it was either lamb or duck. I got lamb soup and I've been addicted ever since. YUM

Lamb is pretty much the national dish here in Australia - everyone eats lamb. I agree that the best way to cook it, is to get a leg of lamb, go for one about 2 kilos (about 4.4 pounds). It will easily feed 4 adults.

Roast it on 200 degrees Celsius (390 degrees Fahrenheit). For well done roast for 60 minutes per kilo, for Medium, roast it for 50 minutes per kilo.

You can stuff it as was suggested earlier, but I like it plain. Most times it will be served with Mint Sauce or gravy.

If you can't get a leg of lamb, see if you can get Leg Chops, rather than the more common Lamb Grillers. The Leg Chops have less fat & are really good barbequed or grilled. Try not to overcook - it tastes better.

I think lamb could be better cooked on a rotisserie so the fat can drip tp the bottom. If you're cooking or baking it then chances are is the meat will sponge up the fat making it taste even more gamier. Not too good!:yuk

Love,

I always dry roast it by putting it on a metal grill above a metal pan. Some of the fat drips away but some of it is retained in the meat. You do not want the lamb to dry out too much (does not taste good), nor do you want it to stew in its own juices (not very healthy).

PS Cover it with foil & let it stand for 5 - 10 minutes after you have cooked it, before you carve it. Carve into thin slices, like you would with ham.
