With a wide variety of delicious cuts to choose from, lamb is suitable for a range of preparations and cooking styles. These meatballs with Thai-inspired sauce from #LambTryItLoveIt not only offer a fresh twist on classic meatballs, but also feature quick-cooking lamb mince, making this a perfect meal for feeding a hungry family or planning for leftovers. Mix up your mid-week meal repertoire with this unique twist on the tried-and-tested meatball.
