We all know the classic combination of lamb and mint. Paired together they offer a fresh take on heavier meat dishes. If you can’t get lamb chops, try using smaller lamb cutlets and serving 2 per person. Lamb is quite a fatty meat so the fresh pea and mint salad helps to make this dish a light spring meal perfect for summer BBQ’s and dinner parties. If you can get fresh podded peas then use them but if not frozen broad beans and peas will work well.
