Woolworths' lamb mince is full of flavour, and a little goes a long way. It’s a great option for cold-weather cooking, whether you’re simmering a stew or loading up amagwinya. Lamb naturally has a deeper, richer flavour than other mince, which means you need fewer ingredients to get big results. It also holds up well to bold flavours, so it’s perfect for winter comfort food. And like all Woolworths lamb, it’s responsibly sourced, so it’s better for you and the planet.

Ragù di agnello

This is a rich, slow-cooked, tomato-and-lamb sauce that only gets better with time. Use it as a pasta sauce or pile it onto toasted sourdough. This ragù works with whatever’s in your pantry.

We took Woolies’ amagwinya (because who wants to deep-fry at home?) and filled them with curried lamb mince. They're messy, saucy and hit every craving. Great for casual dinners, and even better as leftovers the next day.

It’s a reliable, good-quality option that delivers on flavour, versatility and peace of mind.
