Nutritional values

The butter tender roast lamb is accompanied by fine young vegetables, but with a light rather than rich sauce. All of this brings vitamins, minerals and protein to the table.

When it comes to vegetables, it's the mix that does it: combine other young greens as you wish, such as snow peas or fine princess beans.
