O'Briens Butchers - Gigot Lamb Chops

Large, thick Gigot lamb chops from John O'Briens Farm in East Cork. Animals are reared in Cloyne and they are processed in Midleton- as local as you'll get it!

Cuts such as chops and cutlets from the neck are also suitable for grilling or frying.

Lamb benefits from slow, even and longer cooking. Lamb is perfectly cooked when evenly browned on the surface and uniformly roasted throughout. For smaller joints allow 25 – 30 minutes 450g and 20 minutes extra.

Lamb is an ideal source of iron. An average portion can provide 20% of the recommended daily intake for men and 12% for women (women need more iron than men). Iron found in lamb is in a form that is easily absorbed by the body. Iron in the diet is vital for the formation of red blood cells.

Lamb can provide 45% of the daily requirement of zinc, essential for growth, healing, and a healthy immune system, which we all know is very important to have these days!!
