Look for fresh lamb that has creamy white fat and firm, pinkish red meat.
Refrigerate fresh lamb and mutton in its original wrapping, over-wrapped with foil, for no more than four days, two days for stew meat or ground lamb or mutton.
Grill steaks, chops, or ribs for about 5 minutes per side and brush with barbecue sauce (or other glaze).
Lamb is an excellent source of vitamin B12 and a good source of iron.
