About Lamb saddle
Lamb saddle is a butcher’s term for a section of the back spanning the two loins, typically with the backbone and rib or loin bones retained. It may be prepared as a whole piece or boned and rolled, with fat and bone proportions depending on butchery.
It is usually roasted and carved into portions. The meat is tender and has a characteristic lamb flavour, while attached fat adds richness. Bone-in and boned preparations differ in edible yield, and a saddle should not be treated as equivalent to a single loin chop.
