Small plain portions of boneless lamb are safe. Avoid fatty cuts, marinated or seasoned preparations, and cooked bones. Ground lamb dishes like meatballs and kebabs often include garlic or onion.
Lamb is meat from young sheep sold as chops, roasts, shanks, ground meat, and stew cuts. It provides complete protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins and is used in some commercial limited-ingredient pet foods.
Used in grilled, braised, and roasted dishes across many cuisines. Fat content varies by cut — shoulder and rib portions are richer than lean leg meat.
Cooked lamb bones can splinter, and pan drippings may trigger stomach upset. Home and restaurant recipes commonly include garlic, onion, herbs, and salty rubs.
