If you love lamb then I'm begging you to try these sticky lamb ribs. These are perfect for entertaining and have a tangy, sweet tamarind and brown sugar glaze. Plus lamb ribs are an inexpensive cut of lamb!

2 - The Great Lamb Raan Roast!

I don't often cook a leg of lamb as I prefer shoulder as it's more forgiving but this lamb raan roast is worth making. It's a Sri Lankan restaurant style dish that comes from the sadly departed Indu restaurant. It is served with lunu miris, a mix of onions and chilli and mint chutney - heaven!

3- Greek Lamb and Potatoes

I still get messages about this Greek lamb and lemon potatoes. The lamb is fall apart tender and the lemon potatoes are the only accompaniment you'll need!

4 - Lime and Black Pepper Lamb Cutlets

I make these lime and black pepper lamb cutlets more than I do others, mainly because they're so delicious but also simple. It's one of those dishes that you think, "Is that all?" but when you taste the flavour combo of lime and black pepper you'll make it over and over again.

5 - Pomegranate Lamb Shanks

I absolutely love these pomegranate lamb shanks because the pomegranate molasses balances the rich meat perfectly in the same way that lemon does. It's also a great Spring dinner party dish too and cooks in the slow cooker or instant pot giving you more time to do other things.

So tell me Dear Reader, which lamb recipe or cut is your first pick?
