A whole lamb leg is often associated with roasting and slow cooking, but further butchery can open up new applications and help foodservice professionals extract more value from the cut.

In this practical demonstration, learn how to break down a lamb leg, remove the femur bone and separate the lamb knuckle from the topside and silverside. The video highlights how the knuckle provides a useful portion size and can perform well on the grill or be sliced thinly for fast-cooking methods, including stir-frying.

For chefs, butchers and culinary professionals, this approach offers a practical way to extend lamb leg beyond traditional roasting applications. Watch the demonstration to explore how targeted lamb leg butchery can support greater menu versatility and create additional value from a familiar cut.
