Lamb Dishes
Lamb is as versatile as beef in the way you can cook with it which is why you'll find such a variety of recipes here for lamb dishes. It can be grilled like on kabobs or slow simmered in a stew.
Younger lamb has the best flavor. The older it is the more gamey it can be (mutton is a lamb that is over 2 years old and it's considered the lower end quality wise).
