Salt Marsh Lamb
Ridings Reserve of Carnaby, near Bridlington source Salt Marsh Lamb for me whenever they are available. They get their name because they live on the estuaries around the country, including the Humber and Spurn Point areas. Where they feed on a multitude of wild grasses and herbs that are only found on estuary salt marshes, like Puccinellia, Sea Lavendar and Marsh Samphire. This gives the meat a flavour, colour and texture that is like no other.
Lamb CushionLamb Cushion – a very lean piece of lamb, stuffed with our apricot and Stilton sausage meat, these flavours really complement the lamb. Roast at 180°C for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Uncover it halfway through to crisp the lamb. This will feed two good eaters.

Rack of LambRack of Lamb – the best cut from the loin which we serve french trimmed, leaving the eye of the loin. These are available plain or marinated. Ideal on the barbecue. I like to brown in a frying pan, then finish in the oven for about 15 minutes at 200°C. Add 5 minutes if you like your lamb thoroughly cooked through.

Lamb ShanksLamb Shanks – These are a good old fashioned favourite and are available plain, minty or in our rosemary and red currant sauce. To cook quickly you can roast for 1 hour at 180°C. but if you have the time I recommend 2 hours at 160 C, which makes them really tender. The juices make a lovely gravy, serve with mashed potatoes and vegetables.
