Hogget meat is the meat of a juvenile sheep that is between one and two years old. It is a combination of tender lamb and full-flavored mutton, and it has a richer and fuller flavor than lamb but not as pronounced as older mutton. Hogget meat appears slightly darker than lamb and has a deeper, more pronounced flavor. It is a versatile meat that can be cooked hot and quick like lamb or low and slow, but anywhere in between might toughen it up. Hogget meat has a nice fat to meat ratio and is very nutritious, providing high levels of omega-3 fatty acids as well as many other essential vitamins and minerals.
