Lamb is a protein that rewards slow cooking. A quick pan-fry can produce a decent lamb chop, but the real magic happens when lamb is braised, slow-roasted or stewed for hours. Connective tissue breaks down, fat renders into the meat, and flavours develop complexity that fast cooking simply cannot achieve.
The problem is time. A 12-hour slow-cooked lamb shoulder takes, well, 12 hours. Most home cooks don't have that kind of time on a Tuesday evening. Providoor's chefs do the slow cooking for you, then flash-freeze the result at minus 18 degrees Celsius. You get 12 hours of slow cooking in 20 minutes of reheating.
Read the truth about flash-frozen meals for the science behind why this works.
How to Serve
For the best results, defrost Providoor lamb dishes in the fridge for 24 hours before reheating. You can cook from frozen, but defrosting first helps with even cooking and gives a better flavour and texture.
For the lamb shoulder: serve on a board with warm pita, Greek salad, tzatziki and roasted vegetables. For the curried braised lamb: serve over steamed basmati rice with fresh coriander and naan bread. For the kofta: couscous or flatbread with a yoghurt drizzle.
