SLOW COOKED LAMB WITH TOM HIXSON

Slow cooked lamb is a dish my family and I often have on Eid and it always goes down a treat! It’s a lot easier to make than you’d think and it’s really impressive. The secret to making the dish stand out is to use good quality meat such as Tom Hixson’s Te Mana leg of lamb! The quality is amazing and definitely outshines the lamb I get from my local butcher! 

Tom Hixson of Smithfield have a large variety of halal meat on offer which you can purchase online and get delivered straight to your door. They really stand out from the crowd by offering a great selection of unique and exciting halal meat from USDA Black Angus Chateaubriand to wild Atlantic salt ages sirloin!
