Nutritional values

Lamb is one of the least polluted meats and, like cherries, contains valuable minerals and vitamins. In addition, it contains high-quality protein.

Lamb chops are not only delicious at Easter: in summer you can use fresh sour cherries for the sauce and grill the marinated lamb chops on the barbecue.
