Serves 6
Almost any tender new shoots from the garden can be used in this dish, so experiment and use whatever is on hand. Any other pea or bean shoots, snow peas, sugar snaps, runner beans and dwarf beans work well.
Ingredients
| 4 | Lamb racks, trimmed and cut into cutlets |
| 40 ml | Olive oil |
| 2 cups | Pea shoots |

| 2 cups | Broad bean shoots |

| 2 | Lemons, cut into quarters, seeds removed |
| 50 ml | Extra virgin olive oil |
