smoked lamb

Preserved young sheep

Smoked lamb is lamb meat that has been cured and flavored by exposure to wood smoke, a preservation and cooking method that imparts a distinctive smoky taste.

The process may be hot-smoking (which cooks the meat) or cold-smoking (which primarily flavors it).

Smoked lamb appears in various cuisines, from Middle Eastern to American barbecue: The smoked lamb shoulder fell apart at the touch of a fork.
