#5 Lemon and thyme lamb chops
We're starting off strong with a good, honest flavour combination. Lamb, lemon and thyme. Doesn't get much better than that. And how good are lamb chops?! I'm day-dreaming at the thought of it. This recipe , with thanks to MLA, was viewed 222 times in 2024. (A tasty teaser for you: this is the first of two lamb recipes to make the Top 5 cut. Lambassadors rejoice!)
#4 Viral Cucumber Salad
It went viral on TikTok… and then it went viral on Australian Farmers! We think this delicious cucumber salad recipe is very cool, and it looks like you agree. This recipe is punching above its weight; it only hit our website in November, but it has been viewed hundreds of times since! Praise Gourd.
#3 Beef and pumpkin curry
This quick and easy beef and pumpkin curry recipe from Australian Beef is proving to be a real crowd pleaser. It's fantastic mid-week meal. This recipe racked up more than 600 hits this year.
#2 Zucchini and corn fritters
Another classic combo: zucchini and corn. Two summer faves. These fritters look flippin' fantastic, and they're quick and easy too. This recipe was viewed, and hopefully cooked, roughly twice a day over the past year: 673 times. A mighty effort.
But, the Michelin Star goes to……
#1 Camp oven lamb shanks
The only thing you guys love more than lamb is cooking it in a camp oven!
Amanda Thomas donated this pearler of a recipe . It's great for crowds; it feeds 15 adults and a couple of tin lids too. Incredibly, the 'Camp Oven Lamb Shanks - The easy way' recipe was posted four years ago, yet it was 2024's top recipe by a very long shot. Amanda hails from Warren in New South Wales and has spoken with Australian Farmers before about her busy life. She's a farmer, agronomist, mum, and now, an internet-famous chef! (We think so anyway.)
Amanda's recipe, which boasts 12 lamb shanks mind you, has been viewed nearly 3,000 times between January and December. That's a whole lotta love for a whole lotta lamb.
Thanks to everyone who's visited the Australian Farmers recipe page this year.
We can't wait to cook up a storm with you again in 2025.
