NAVARIN OF LAMB AND SPRING VEGETABLES
I've got my optimistic head on, I'm convincing myself that spring is almost here and that the fantastic Cumbrian spring lamb and local vegetables are arriving in the kitchen
There are many cuts of lamb used for this dish, this recipe is by no means traditional, so don't be sending me " Oi ya don't do it like that!" messages, all of you perfectionists out there, this is just the way I do it
