How to find the gland
This gland can be attached to the butt end of the leg between the lower cartridge and the eye of the cartridge. It’s embedded in a piece of fat and looks kind of gray-green when you cut it open. Once you find it, it’s easier to just pull it out or cut it off with scissors. You can also slide open the side of the leg, locate it, put your hand in, and pull it out.
When you cut open the piece of fat, you find this green lump that has a disgusting, foul smell that is very repulsive.
Once removed before cooking, you can enjoy the delicious taste of the lamb without worrying about smell.
