I wasn’t really too sure about posting this post for a couple of reasons. One, it’s not really anything new or inventive, it’s just a simple spring dinner of lamb, marinated in olive oil, lemon juice and fresh Rosemary and bunch of lightly sauteed pea shoots with onions. And two, in all honesty, while those pea shoots sound like a crisp and fresh explosion of Spring Green on the tongue the ever tenacious Mr P and I soon found them to be rather stalky and tough. Lets just stick to the peas and leave the shoots to the garden, okay? Or perhaps a table arrangement. All that in consideration, however, at the end of the day the meal was still good, the lamb was fresh, tender and super tasty and where, oh where is the harm in a simple, satisfying dinner?
Pea shoots and a Spring Lamb

Wow, that first shot is simply awesome! Spring lamb, Yum!
I agree with Nina – beautiful shot! I’ve only ever had pea shoots in salads where I loved them. Maybe you need to catch them realyl young before they get stalky?? And love the simplicity of the lamb
