The meaty Eid Al Adha feast is here and it’s time to decide on the big menu. Yep, we know you’re thinking about the fail-safe lamb roast, lamb shanks and may be kebab skewers. So far so good, they’re all popular and delicious but a tad conventional.

How about spicing things up with a whole lamb roast? Or experimenting with the juicy ribs? Sounds unfamiliar but that’s because we usually stick to the popular meat cuts, often ignoring some underrated and delicious meaty parts.

Nobody eats lamb better than Arabs. If you need proof, just visit an Arab family this Eid Al Adha and you’ll find every meaty and juicy part of lamb chopped, cooked and garnished in hundred different mouth-watering ways.

From Lamb shanks dipped in sweet and tangy pomegranate sauce to slow-cooked juicy gravy with rice – you’ll be amazed at how they can turn this exotic meat into dishes SO filling and heavy, you’ll stay full for couple of next days.

We promised ourselves a healthy summer and well, most of the days, we were successful. But with Eid Al Adha here, 'healthy eating' isn’t the word we want to hear for a few days.

The joyous festival is all about celebration, gratitude and food — loads and loads of sugar dipped sweets, scrumptious bite-size appetisers and delicious entrées.
