ground lamb

Minced lamb, usually from the shoulder or neck, richer and more strongly flavoured than ground beef.

Ground lamb is not stocked by every supermarket, but Turkish, Middle Eastern or halal butchers almost always carry it, and any butcher will mince lamb shoulder on request.

Substitute:

Ground beef or a beef and pork mix cooks the same way, but the characteristic slightly gamey lamb flavour and some of the juiciness are lost.
