From a half lamb, you can expect a shoulder of lamb, rack of lamb, leg of lamb, neck and You could ask the supplier to cut these cuts into smaller pieces e.g. the leg into 2 to 3 pieces, which will make the meat go further. Meat box schemes may also work out cheaper than buying in bulk at a supermarket.

Meal for one?

If space is limited in your freezer to store surplus meat, your local butcher’s shop is the ideal place for buying smaller quantities of meat as and when you need it. You can also buy small quantities of meat in supermarkets.

*TIP

Defrost frozen leftovers thoroughly before reheating in either a microwave or by leaving in the fridge overnight. Reheat food until piping hot throughout. Foods reheated in the microwave should be given a stir halfway through, as the microwave does not heat evenly. Foods taken out of the freezer should be eaten within 24 hours.
