Helpful Tips

INGREDIENTS:

Lamb Cutlets: These tender cutlets are ready in not time at all and once seared remain juicy on the inside.

Chickpeas: chickpeas add a nutty flavour and creaminess to the meal.

Sage: Sage has a strong, slightly minty and slightly musky taste. Frying it in butter, mellows its flavour but adds a depth to the meal that makes it very flavourful.

Baby Spinach: I absolutely love spinach! It cooks in less than a minute and completes the meal.
