    Colorado Lamb Recipes

    Colorado has a strong ranching heritage and lamb plays a big part in our history. Colorado Lamb is highly sought after due to its quality, and consistency in flavor and tenderness. The majority of lamb are free range, grazing on grass, brush and sage and even graze in Colorado Vineyards.

    Lamb raised and imported from New Zealand and Australia are smaller in size that American raised lamb, and bring with it a gamier flavor. Please support local. Ask your butcher for Colorado raised lamb.

    One of our favorites is a recipe I learned in Culinary School for Dijon and Pistachio Crusted Rack of Lamb. Easy and impressive!

    You’ll also find fun lamb recipes like Lamb Sliders With Tomato Chutney, and scrumptious Lamb Kabobs.
