A timeless classic, beautifully cut, to produce something special for cooking over flame
Our delicious, tender Butterflied leg of lamb is perfect for the BBQ. We remove the bones, butterfly the leg and then flatten it a little to make cooking over flame easier. Surprisingly quick and simple to cook, this boneless joint is a blank canvas for flavours so you can have some fun with your marinades: traditional rosemary and garlic; Moroccan style with ras al hanout, sumaq, coriander; Indian spices with cumin and yoghurt...
Our heritage-breed lambs have been exclusively grazed on the wild flowers and grasses of the varied meadows in this quiet corner of Suffolk, which makes them rich in flavour and very tender. They are slow-grown by one of our cohort of enlightened sheep farmers who care deeply about animal welfare and husbandry. And because we are a whole-carcass butcher we can choose the lambs we'd like from our farmer and thereby ensure the best fat to meat ratio.
We dry-hang our lamb for a minimum of 10 days. This helps to ensure the legs are tender and full of flavour. We send the bones with your leg too (great for stock!), or for your dogs (fine if given raw)
Whole feeds 8-10; Half feeds 4.

Gerard's Suggestion
Our pasture-fed lambs spend their lives grazing the rich meadows along the East Suffolk coast. Their diet of wild grasses and herbs gives the meat its distinctive character and taste. We always hang our lamb for at least a week, which enhances its flavour and really helps the texture and tenderness.
At certain times of the year, we also offer Organic Lamb from Shimpling Park, near Lavenham. Shimpling Park, which went organic in 1999, produces exceptional-quality lamb thanks to its thriving natural pastures. When it's available, you can select the 'Shimpling Park Organic' option above - it's well worth a try.
> Roast and Quick & Easy
1. Season with some delicious crispy Maldon's sea salt over the fat.
2. Heat a pan, lay the rack, fat side down into the pan and leave until the fat is golden brown.
3. Place in a hot oven preheated to 200ºC (fan oven, or equivalent) for approximately 10 minutes.
4. Put the rack on a wooden board to rest for 15 minutes.
5. Cut down between the bones to serve.
