Is there lean non-beef meat available here? Usually, lamb is sold here and it has lot of fat.

You can always trim the fat off, thats what I do anyways on the rare occasions I do buy red meat, which is usually mutton, stay away from beef most of the time.

You are in sharjah maybe mutton is available there. Here it is normally lamb.

I havent been in Sharjah for almost the last three years

Mutton is available everywhere in Dubai from C4 to the butchers. I get mine from the closet source, Geant in Ibn Bututta mall

Well, indian mutton has smell I don't like. Suddani goat was the leanest and smell free meat I've ever tasted, but it was available here for a short time only.

Here is a quick comparison might be different from breed to breed.

Fat on the meat is what gives it its flavour. Simply drain off the excess fat as it cooks - no big deal.

That is too much work.

desertdudeshj · Apr 26, 2012

Sheesh !

Nucleus · Apr 26, 2012

Haha, anyhow lamb meat has less protein and iron.

Chocoholic · Apr 26, 2012

Riiiight, so pulling the roasting tray out mid-roast and tipping out the fat is too much work is it?

Nucleus · Apr 26, 2012

Yup, and it may not exactly get rid enough fat.

:) Not everyone roasts a leg of lamb Chocs. like I am lazy when it comes to cooking and feeding myself, if i deceide to cook, I like laid back methods like stewed/casserole cooking. I just chuck whatever meat there is with vegies, spices, water into one soucepan on the cooker/oven and then come back in an hours time to serve on plate
