Effective immediately, fans of lamb are invited to show off their ewe-nique family recipes in this national contest for the chance to win a lamb cut of choice to serve a family of six, a roasting pan and American lamb goodies. Whether preparing a succulent shank for a Thanksgiving feast or a stunning roast to serve as the centerpiece for a holiday celebration, American lamb is a fresh and flavorful way to enjoy the holidays with loved ones.

From Oct. 12 to Nov. 11, amateur cooks can submit their recipes and a short 200-300 word description of why their dish is a family favorite. The winning recipe will be announced on Nov. 17.
