Marinate your lamb!
Pastured lamb is lean and full-flavored — a marinade seasons it through, adds moisture, and its acid gently tenderizes the meat while mellowing lamb's natural richness. It makes an especially big difference before grilling chops, steaks, or kebabs.

Notes
Farm tip: Braise until the meat gives easily when poked — the fat and collagen need time to melt.
Serving suggestion: Serve over polenta or mashed potatoes.
