About this cut: Lamb mince is ground from shoulder and trim cuts, giving it a moderate fat content that adds flavour without being heavy. It binds well when shaped into patties or koftas, and cooks quickly in a hot pan or under a grill. The flavour is distinctly lamb but mild enough to carry a wide range of seasonings.
Where it comes from: Sourced from Gisborne pastures on New Zealand’s North Island, where high rainfall keeps the grass lush year-round and lambs graze close to the Pacific Coast. View our sourcing page.
How it gets to you: Cut and vacuum-sealed at the source, then blast-frozen at peak condition. The pack is never opened between processing and your kitchen, arriving in an insulated chiller bag with ice packs. Free next-day delivery islandwide for orders before 2pm.
How to cook it: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and use directly from thawed state — do not refreeze. Brown in a hot pan for sauces and fillings, or shape into koftas and grill over medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until cooked through. Try it in our Minced Lamb with Thai Basil recipe.
