Saddle
Lamb saddle is the double loin on the bone—both sides of the backbone—a prestige roast that carves into elegant slices or chops. Larger than a single rack, milder than shoulder, built for celebration. Season well, roast to pink in the eye, rest generously, and carve with a sharp knife parallel to the spine or into portions. Protect thin ends. Order ahead from a butcher. Leftover cold saddle is outstanding with pickles and bread.
