This comprehensive, 4-hour workshop will focus on how to butcher, process, and cook a lamb. In the first part of the workshop, local butcher Maya Lantgios will demonstrate how to break down an entire lamb. Maya will also process parts of the animal, making ground meat and teaching the class how to prepare sausage from the freshly butchered meat. The second part of the class will focus on cooking the lamb. Maya will demonstrate how to cook one cut, which participants will be able to try in class! After that, the rest of the lamb cuts will be given away to class participants through a lottery.
Each participant will leave with at least 5 pounds of fresh, locally raised lamb, and a book of recipes for every cut!
This will be an in-person class. Chatham University’s current policy states that mask-wearing is required indoors, regardless of vaccination status.
Refunds will be issued up to 48 hours before the class.
