9 lamb recipes for a festive Heritage Day

Looking for some inspiration to spruce up Heritage Day? We’d highly recommend you go all out and try one (or all nine) of these recipes for a fabulously festive month!

We love a good slow-cook recipe and minimal prep with the oven doing all the hard work! These Pinotage braised lamb chops make for a hearty and tender slow-cooked lamb feast.

It’s always lamb pot pie weather, right? Try this lamb pot pie with cornbread topping for a delicious “corny” twist on a classic pot pie recipe.

Spinach, peanuts and feta make for a flavoursome stuffing in these stuffed leg of lamb chops. The recipe is great for when you don’t have time to make a whole stuffed lamb roast.

Sticky riblets with a honey and marmite glaze: think yeasty, salty, soy sauce-esque flavour with a sweet meaty finish!

For flavours of earthy rooibos tea with a smoky meaty twist, try these rooibos smoked lamb riblets.

Roasted lamb meatballs with sweet potato wedges and chakalaka sauce: the chakalaka sauce is just the South African spin we’re all too excited about!

We love this rolled lamb meatloaf, with a sweet fruit and wheat stuffing – it’s tasty, balanced and flavour-packed!

Grilled lamb chops with biltong spice rub – throw these biltong spiced lamb chops on the braai and Braai Day festivities are sorted!

If you’ve never tasted a deboned bobotie flavoured lamb riblet roll, your world is about to be shook! It’s delicious in all the best possible ways and there’s pastry involved, so we’re sold.
