Halal Lamb Mince

500g

Lamb mince in a 500g pack, prepared to hand-slaughter standards and minced to order on the morning of delivery. Lamb fat has a sweeter, deeper flavour than beef, which is why so many kebab and köfte recipes ask for it. It binds well when kneaded, so it holds on a skewer and keeps its shape in the pan. Use it for adana or urfa kebab, kofta kebab, Lebanese kibbeh, Iraqi kubba, shami kebab or a lamb keema, or as the filling for dolma and moussaka. For skewered kebab, knead the mince with salt and finely chopped red pepper for several minutes until it turns tacky, chill it for half an hour, then press it firmly onto wide, flat skewers so it grips as it cooks.
