Being from the UK and growing up on staples like Shepherd's Pie I tend to miss lamb in Japan sometimes (it's more associated with Hokkaido in the north).
The 500g lamb mince makes 2 Shepherd's Pies, and each of those, made in a larger Pyrex dish, serves 2 people for 2 days (depending on appetite), so 8 meals in total. You get quite a bit of fat when cooked but that's normal for lamb and it isn't an excessive amount. The smell when cooking is wonderful! Of course you can use beef instead for a Cottage Pie but that isn't really the same...

The quality of the lamb is outstanding, with a perfect fat-to-meat ratio that ensures each meal is flavorful yet not overly greasy.
This lamb is fatty and good. Perfect for the grill.

I use this to mix with the minced beef to make Persian kebabs on skewers.

It’s incredibly hard to find lamb cuts in supermarkets here. This is a lifesaver. It’s quite lean, great for shepherds pie.
I also made some really good Adana kebabs with it. To the 500 gr’s of mince add a tablespoon or so of red pepper paste, 1 small red paprika (minced), 3-4 cloves of garlic (minced), half a tablespoon of red pepper flakes and season with salt and pepper to taste. I also added some lard because the meat was on the leaner side. A tablespoon or two will do. Or tallow.
Mix them all by hand until the mixture gets stringy and sticky. Probably 5 minutes of rigorous kneading.
Seal well and let it rest in the fridge for a day.
I just shaped them around skewers and cooked them on the stovetop in a cast iron grill. They release a great amount of tasty fat so just put a tortilla or some bread on it to soak up the juices.
I’m here to buy it again. I’m dying to remake those kebabs.

The first time I made keema meatballs with coriander yogurt sauce , I used 100% beef although lamb was called for. Making it with lamb makes it tastes so much exotic and extra yummy!
