Has anyone ever cooked these before? I wanted to experiment with these bone in lamb belly pieces. I have not seen many recipes online for these and I don’t really want to just smoke them. Any ideas?

    Smoke and braise is my first thought

    Not much meat on those.. is that from Aldi?

    I like lamb breast braised in a curry. Tasty cut, but not sure I’d sous vide it – lots of fat, and doesn’t seem to overcook easily

    Only time I tried lamb breast I cut a pocket between the ribs and the meat and stuffed it and roasted…

    Frankly wasn’t worth it since the amount of meat on the rack was minimal…

  6. I used to get these from aldi, the ones I get usually have tons of meat on them. I put it in a baking dish lined with foil and parchment paper. Olive oil all over and I like to make little slits and rub in some chopped garlic cloves, then season with whatever I’m feelin. Sometimes a little splash of wine, or broth or both to cover the bottom. Parchment paper and foil on top wrapped up tight, and into the oven at 275 for 3-4 hours. Last 20 minutes uncovered and crank it up to 450 for 15-20 minutes. Perfection.

    I have done a rolled lamb belly. 140f for 30ish hours then sliced a portion and seared. Was really yum, but think something like a 180f for 12-18 hours and do a more well done might have been better.

    I use the top portion with a slicer for shabu shabu. I also like to cook them in a stew after soaking them in water and some spices to get the gamey flavors out before cooking.
