About Lamb jus

Lamb jus is a rich, flavorful sauce made by simmering lamb bones, meat trimmings, vegetables like onions, carrots, and celery, and herbs in water or stock. The resulting liquid is reduced and sometimes thickened for a concentrated taste, offering a savory complement to lamb dishes. Originating in traditional European and French cuisine, lamb jus is prized for its deep, umami flavor that enhances both roasted and braised meats. Nutritionally, it is a source of protein and essential minerals such as iron from the bones, but it can also be high in sodium depending on preparation. Its natural collagen content from the bones may support joint and skin health. While lamb jus is typically served in small amounts, its richness in fats can make it calorie-dense, so portion control is advised for balanced meals. Ideal for adding complexity to dishes, this sauce is a refined choice for culinary enthusiasts.
