My lamb neck fillet recipe is easy to pull together and full of flavour. Lamb neck fillet is a wonderfully versatile cut, equally good slow cooked until meltingly tender or cooked to medium, as it is here.
Lamb Recipes
28 RecipesThis collection brings together lamb recipes from Swaledale’s chefs and contributors, covering everything from quick-cooked chops and leg steaks to shoulder, breast, shanks and saddle.
Some cuts suit a hot pan or barbecue, while others need careful roasting or a long, slow cook. The recipes follow the cut, with methods that make the most of its fat, texture and flavour. For older sheep, browse our separate Hogget Recipes and Mutton Recipes collections.
