Diced Lamb

Traditionally, diced lamb is a cut from the lamb shoulder as this is one of the most flavourful parts of the animal. Diced lamb is perfect for slow moist cooking methods and is a popular meat choice for slow cooker recipes, stews and curries. Lamb can take in a lot of robust flavours so is often used with a strong mix of spices.

Yes, you can fry diced lamb in a frying pan quite quickly. First, season your diced lamb with salt, pepper or a spice mix of your choosing. Then make sure your frying pan is hot with a little bit of oil and place in the diced lamb. Cook the meat for about 7 - 10 minutes until it’s complete brown on all sides. Finally, remove the lamb from the pan and let it rest for around 5 minutes before enjoying.

Cooking diced lamb in a slow cooker is the perfect option for those home chefs who just want to set and forget. On a high heat, diced lamb will take around 3 - 4 hours to fully cook; however, on a low heat setting, the lamb will take around 7 - 8 hours. It’s very hard to overcook lamb in a slow cooker, so once you put your veggies and lamb in, you can leave the slow cooker alone and get on with your day.
