However, if you want the lamb taste without the actual animal, there are many cruelty-free, lamb-friendly recipes you could try. So, fire up the oven, put on an apron, and get creative in the kitchen with these seven tasty vegan lamb recipes.
Perfect with a healthy side salad and some roast potatoes, or served over a bed of steamed rice, this hearty curry is a wonderful replacement for lamb korma or spicy lamb vindaloo.

According to the recipe creator, this dish is “easy [and] yummy [and] comes together fast.”
