Last week, our pupils took part in the ‘Lamb for St. Andrew’s Day’ initiative, organised by the Institute of Auctioneers and Appraisers in Scotland (I.A.A.S.) and Quality Meat Scotland.<\/p>\n

The aim was for every single Home Economics pupil in Scotland to have the chance to cook with Scottish lamb around the 30th November.<\/p>\n

In fact, 180 schools and over 30,000 home economics pupils signed up to cook and eat 3,000kg of Scotch Lamb for St Andrews Day!<\/p>\n

Our lamb was provided by the Shetland Livestock Marketing Group and pupils in S1 – S4 used it to make one of two recipes which were chosen by Quality Meat Scotland.<\/p>\n

S1 and S2 pupils made Lamb Wrap with squashed garlicky peas , which used lamb leg steak.<\/p>\n

S3 and S4 Health & Food Technology pupils used minced lamb, Scottish porridge oats and a Waas Bakery bun to make an Oaty Lamb Burger.<\/p>\n

Pupils enjoyed preparing both recipes ( though some were less keen on eating peas than others!); developing their practical skills as well as consolidating learning about local produce, seasonality, food miles and sustainability.<\/p>\n
