Tasted alone, there\u2019s a sweetness to it, a luxuriousness you don&#8217;t find in other meats. It\u2019s softer, more likely to make you pause mid-chew to marvel at its richness.<\/p>\n<p>If ever lamb graces a menu, I\u2019m almost assuredly ordering it. I love it that much. Braised lamb shank? I\u2019ll take it. Lamb chops? Send them over. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.andiemitchell.com\/2010\/07\/06\/spiced-lamb-burgers-with-mint-yogurt-sauce\/\">Spiced lamb burger with mint<\/a>? Swoon.<\/p>\n<p>Here, I\u2019ve upgraded traditional beef meatballs to a deluxe version with lamb. Sweet apricot, bright parsley, rich lamb, sharp garlic, and coriander.<\/p>\n<p>The marriage of flavors is downright delightful.<\/p>\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-17004\"
