Lamb meat

Lamb takes the fourth place in calories among meat varieties. Lamb fat is easily absorbed by the stomach without creating stress. The meat of a young lamb or milk lamb is indispensable in dietary nutrition, as it contains enough lecithin, which normalizes cholesterol metabolism in the body. Properly cooked lamb in the oven has excellent taste and usefulness.

The lamb is chosen light red, with white and elastic fat, it is not cooked for a long time, so it loses an incredible aroma, becomes hard and dry. Recipes depend on culinary traditions. In the East, cooked with dates or apricots, Mediterranean dishes contain olive oil, tomatoes, garlic, wine. In the northern regions, they prefer lamb with potato flavored thyme or marjoram. The taste of fat is beaten with mint sauce in vinegar. Of alcoholic drinks, red wine is suitable.

How to determine the quality of meat

Meat on the counter

The first thing to look for is color and intermuscular fat. The lighter the piece (light red or pinkish), the meat is younger and fresher. The burgundy brown color indicates that the meat is an old animal and it is unlikely that it will make a tender and tasty dish. Fat layers of white color indicate freshness. If the fat is yellowish and loose, it is better not to buy such meat.

High quality lamb is elastic to the touch and elastic. If you sniff, there must be no mustiness or rottenness. The denser the structure, the older the animal. If you buy a lamb (up to 8 weeks) or a young lamb (up to 3 months), keep in mind that usually lambs are born from January to March.

Sometimes thawed mutton is sold in stores, which they pass off as fresh. Such meat is easy to determine by checking for elasticity by pressing on a piece. If the dimple is not leveled, and the surface has become a bright red color, it is thawed. Secondary freezing and improper defrosting leads to a loss of taste and nutritional qualities.
