Lamb Chops Vert Pré recipe
information
The crisp, fresh watercress is an excellent accompaniment to tender lamb and new potatoes (Jersey Royals are terrific with this). Traditionally, the lambs are fed on the grass of reclaimed land by the sea, and have a delicate, slightly salty taste, hence the name: Cotelettes d'Agneau Vert Pre. A perfect dish for springtime.
