30+ Delicious Ways to Cook Lamb for Dinner
published Now
When I was growing up, I never really ate very much lamb at home. I only ever had it on special occasions like Easter , and usually when somebody else is cooking. Now that I’m older and cook for myself, I love incorporating lamb into my dinner roster — especially lamb burgers .
Lamb is one of those dishes that sometimes feels a little fancy for your average weeknight dinner, but I would say think again. While a roast leg of lamb is an excellent go-to for more noteworthy meals, you can get lamb chops on the table in just 20 minutes, and the same goes for ground lamb.
Whether lamb makes a regular appearance in your meal plan or you’re new to cooking with it, know that there are plenty of ways to serve it for dinner. And to help you out, we’ve compiled more than 30 delicious lamb recipes to get you started.
