Meat
Bone In
Bone-in lamb breast keeps the rib structure under the fatty plate—more flavour in the pot and a rustic presentation. The bones help the meat hold shape during long braises and contribute gelatin. Season, brown if practical, and braise or slow-roast until a skewer meets little resistance. Finish hot for sticky edges. Diners can nibble meat from bones. Ideal for winter pots and thrift entertaining.
