Fresh Halal British baby lamb mince is ground to a 15-20% Fat mix from 100% British baby lamb meat, moist enough for curries and kofte without turning greasy. Every animal is hand-slaughtered by the non-stunned method, Antibiotic-free and Growth hormone-free, and Certified Halal, in 500g to 4kg packs.
How much should I order?
500g suits two, 1kg a family batch, 2kg or 4kg for batch-cooking and the freezer.
How should I store it?
Refrigerate until cooking, or freeze in the arrival pack. Allow about 12 hours to defrost, and use it the day it arrives.
How does this differ from other fat grades?
This pack is graded 15-20% Fat — leaner than the richest mince grades, fuller than the leanest, from 100% British baby lamb meat, in 500g-4kg packs.
Freezing FAQs
Can it be frozen in meal-sized portions?
Yes — split the pack before freezing so you can thaw only what's needed.
How long does it take to defrost?
Budget about 12 hours; smaller portions thaw a little faster.
Order by pack size rather than a per-person count: the 500g pack suits two people for a curry night, 1kg is enough for a family meal, and the 2kg or 4kg packs suit batch-cooking or stocking the freezer for a bigger household.
Keep this mince refrigerated until you're ready to cook, or freeze it in the pack size it arrives in. Allow around 12 hours to defrost fully in the fridge before cooking, and use it on the day it arrives if you aren't freezing it.
This 15-20% Fat baby lamb mince suits keema curry, spiced kofte and kebabs, and lamb-stuffed vegetables. It also works in Middle-Eastern dishes such as kibbeh or spiced lamb flatbreads, where the fat content keeps the meat moist through long, spiced cooking.
- Keema curry: brown the mince with onion, ginger, garlic and garam masala, then simmer with tomatoes until rich and thick.
- Grilled kofte: mix with chopped herbs and spices, shape onto skewers and grill until charred at the edges.
- Mince and potato bake: cook down with vegetables and top with mashed potato for a shepherd's-pie style bake.
Can this mince be frozen in meal-sized portions?
Yes — split the pack into smaller portions before freezing so you only need to thaw what a recipe calls for.
How long does it take to defrost a portion?
Budget around 12 hours in the fridge for a full pack; smaller, thinner portions typically defrost a little faster.
What's the best way to freeze it?
Wrap portions tightly and freeze them flat so they thaw evenly and take up less space in the freezer.
How do I know it's fully thawed before cooking?
The mince should be soft all the way through with no icy patches or a hard centre before it goes in the pan.
