Our Favorite Ground Lamb Recipes

Our ground lamb comes from Paicines Ranch, where the sheep forage year round on diverse certified organic rangelands and irrigated pastures. The California-based ranch practices focus on holistic regenerative grazing and low-stress livestock handling to build healthy soils and healthy animals, which in turn foster our good health.

Besides enjoying it grilled or pan-fried as a burger, slathered with Hot Mama's Smoky Coffee Chili Oil and mayo, some of our favorite ways to prepare Paicines ground lamb include:
