Healthy, because
The lean fillets consist of only 3 to 4 percent fat and are combined with olive oil. Compared to beef and pork, lamb meat contains a particularly high amount of saturated fatty acids, but this is hardly of any importance in this recipe.
Even smarter
Lavender flowers belong in the original herbal mixture from Provence. However, as they are not (or no longer) contained in most ready-made products, it is best to add lavender separately - as in this recipe. A lukewarm ratatouille salad goes well with the fillet of lamb.
