What is lamb belly best used for?

Slow roasting, sous vide, or stuffing. It’s not ideal for grilling or fast cooking.

Is lamb belly the same as lamb breast?

Yes — both terms refer to the same cut.

Yes! Finish in a hot oven or under the broiler for crispy, golden skin.

Not required, but spice rubs work wonders during long cooking.

The fat renders out during cooking — it bastes the meat and adds flavor.
