Nutritional values

The fat edge makes the lamb chops incomparably crispy and juicy - after grilling you can simply cut it away. The meat itself is characterised by its high protein content (100 grams contain around 25 grams) and magnesium for strong muscles and nerves.

If you can get so-called triplets, go for it. These tiny potatoes can be pre-cooked with the skin for 3-4 minutes and then grilled whole. Brings even more fibre!
