With BBQ season on the way, it’s time to get to know your lamb cuts and how to cook them! I recently caught up with Warren from Boorabe Dorper Lamb, who shared some great tips for getting the best out of every cut.
Cutlets and loin chops are perfect for a quick BBQ, while sausages are always a crowd-pleaser. For something slow-cooked, neck chops are ideal for curries and stews, with the bones adding extra depth and richness. Shoulder is perfect for a relaxed family lunch. Slow-roast it at 140–150°C for 6–7 hours for beautifully tender, fall-apart lamb. No need to sear it first — just add your favourite vegetables and let the oven do the work!
Boorabe’s Dorper lamb is grass-fed, and the breed is known for its beautifully marbled meat, which adds richness and flavour.
Next time you’re at the market, have a chat with Warren about which cut to choose and the best way to cook it.
Find Boorabe Dorper Lamb every Tuesday at New Brighton Farmers Market from 7am to 11am and every Friday at Mullumbimby Farmers Market from 7am to 11am.
