What goes with Lamb Belly?
Lamb belly, often sold as lamb breast, is a layered cut containing meat, fat and connective tissue, with or without ribs. Its richness and depth reward slow cooking; boned, pressed belly behaves differently from a lean lamb steak.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Lamb Belly?
Balance the cut with acidity, fresh herbs, crisp watery vegetables and controlled warm spices. Drain excess fat before using belly in dough or batter; its flavour should remain clear while the supporting structure makes a small portion lighter to eat.
