Lamb noisettes are lean, neatly trimmed medallions cut from the loin: tender, quick to cook and full of flavour. Often called lamb medallions, they're a chef's favourite for fast midweek dinners and easy entertaining. A few minutes in a hot pan and a short rest is all they need. Butchered by The Black Farmer from British lamb, they're a versatile cut that pairs beautifully with seasonal vegetables, redcurrant, rosemary or a simple pan sauce.

A lamb noisette is a small, round medallion cut from the boned loin of lamb, often trimmed lean and tied into a neat disc. "Noisette" is French for "little nut", describing the cut's compact, rounded shape. It's prized for being tender, lean and fast-cooking. Noisette, medallion or chop? A noisette and a medallion are essentially the same lean, boneless loin cut. A lamb chop, by contrast, is cut on the bone. Noisettes cook faster than chops and are easier to portion and plate.
