Delicious and healthy meals have an amazing power to connect those who enjoy them together, even with our furbabies. Whip up these easy lamb gourmet recipes for your family and enjoy the pleasant flavors of tender lamb, fresh fruits, and aromatic herbs, just like how we made Wishbone Pasture for cats and dogs.
New Zealand Rosemary Lamb Shanks
Although this recipe specifically uses New Zealand lamb, you can freely use lamb sourced from your favorite deli shops. However, we recommend using free-range lamb for a leaner meat with more robust flavor.
If you’re planning to serve this for lunch or dinner, make sure that you allow enough time for the lamb to cook. Since this recipe uses a slow cooker, you can do other things while you wait for your meal to cook – like playing with your cat or teaching your dog a cool, new trick.

Ingredients:
| 1 teaspoon salt 3/4 teaspoon pepper 4 lamb shanks (about 20 oz each) 1 tablespoon butter 1/2 cup white wine 3 medium parsnips, peeled, cut into 1-inch chunks 2 large carrots, peeled, cut into 1-inch chunks 2 medium turnips, peeled, cut into 1-inch chunks |

Fun Fact: Did you know? Many cats are attracted to rosemary and will rub their fur against the shrub to release its wonderful aroma. Rosemary is rich in vitamins A and C, iron, calcium, folate, manganese, and powerful antioxidants which makes this herb really good for them. Add a small serving of chopped fresh rosemary to your cat’s food for a more nutritious and appetizing meal (just like Wishbone Pasture for cats!).
Cranberry Lamb
It’s not Thanksgiving yet, but you can enjoy the harmonious blend of tangy cranberries and tender lamb all year round with this recipe. If it is difficult to get fresh cranberries this time of the year, dried ones will work just fine. You’re sure to love the sweet and savory aroma filling up your house as you bake this mouthwatering recipe.
