Australian and New Zealanders love their lamb.
From a more formal and traditional roast, to a sausage roll inspired by North African cuisine, here are some takes on some of the top lamb recipes coming out of New Zealand and Australia
A classic. Whether a leg or a shoulder cut, Sunday dinners with the family wouldn't be the same without it. This recipe is traditional. A small boneless lamb shoulder is simply seasoned with garlic and rosemary.
Barbecuing is one of Australians' and New Zealanders' favorite cooking methods. Lamb "snags" (sausages) are a fixture. Sausages may be seasoned with traditional flavors like garlic, rosemary and mint; however, they seem to be getting more adventurous, adding flavors such as fennel, orange and ginger.
The sausage roll is a favorite Down Under. Usually consumed as a take-away food, this particular recipe is a little bit more interesting. Inspired by Moroccan flavors and topped with sesame seeds, it makes a great party appetizer or picnic snack.
The Lamb Rack is one of the most impressive cuts of any meat. Owing to the abundance of lamb in Australia and New Zealand, the price is not so prohibitive, either. Great on the barbecue or in the oven, a Rack doesn't take long to cook and is one of the most succulent cuts available.
Cutlets are the from the same cut as the lamb rack, but have been cut individually. Crumbed cutlets have been a long-time favorite of the kids.
But why should kids have all the fun? In this recipe, the cutlets are crusted with a herb-mustard before being coated in Japanese (panko) bread crumbs.
