Notes
I always say use your five senses to feel the food you make, tastes different when you make the effort to cook good and easy good. Grilling is my thing, I can put any marinate to any kind of vegetables, meat or even fruits on the grill to make it enjoyable.
Use good meat that is vital to it and using the spices that go with lamb, mint is essential.
