A nutritionist introduces a delicious recipe that removes the distinctive smell of lamb

Introducing a method to remove the unpleasant odor from lamb!

-What is the smell of lamb?

Lamb is becoming increasingly popular as the fourth meat after beef, pork, and chicken. However, it has a unique smell that many people dislike. The source of this smell comes from the feed that sheep eat, as they are herbivores.
It is believed that the unique scent is created when the chlorophyll contained in the grass they eat is converted into a chemical called phytol. In other words, that scent is the "scent of grass."

・How to make it easier to eat

  1. 1. Choose lamb over mutton
    There are two types of sheep meat: lamb and mutton. Roughly speaking, lamb is the meat of a lamb under 12 months old, while mutton is the meat of an older sheep.
    Lamb, which is meat from young lambs, is under 12 months old and has not yet grown large, so it is characterized by its very tender texture. Naturally, the period during which it eats grass, which causes its smell, is short, so it can be said to be easier to eat than mutton.
  2. 2. Remove as much fat as possible
    Phytol, the source of the aforementioned odor, is found in large amounts in the fat portion.
    Additionally, lamb contains a lot of unsaturated fatty acids that oxidize more easily than other meats such as beef and pork, so it can have an unpleasant oxidized smell.
    Therefore, it is recommended to remove the fat during the preparation stage or make several cuts in the fatty area when cooking, as this will allow the excess fat to melt.
  3. 3. Use herbs wisely
    Herbs have a variety of benefits, including a relaxing effect and fragrance, but they also help eliminate odors.
    Lamb in particular has a unique aroma, so it is recommended to combine it with herbs that have a slightly stronger aroma.
    Among these, rosemary is an herb that has long been valued for its ability to remove odors. If you rub it into meat when marinating, it will reduce the odor of the meat and allow you to enjoy the delicious aroma of rosemary.
    So, here's a simple and delicious recipe that you can enjoy next.

No Odor! Recommended Grilled Lamb Recipes

Grilling is the most popular way to cook lamb, and we'll introduce some recommended tips.
Lamb comes in a variety of forms, from thinly sliced ​​meat like that used in Genghis Khan, to whole pieces of meat and meat on the bone.
The most important thing is to avoid overcooking the meat. Lamb is a tender meat, so if you cook it for too long, the meat fibers will shrink and the meat will become tough.
When seasoning, it is recommended to grill lamb without seasoning it too much and eat it with sauce. For mutton, it is best to marinate it in seasoning to remove the distinctive fishy smell.
