Lamb Marbella Recipe (or Chicken)
Wow where do I start with this recipe. I guess I can start with the fact that I love lamb; it’s funky flavor, the bits of fat that are different than steak or pork and the sides and fruit that go with it.
This particular recipe I completely and totally gained my idea from Chicken Marbella. It has both prunes and capers, so it’s salty, sweet and briny. It’s such a fun combination for your tastebuds, then partner it with lamb and it’s over the top.
This is a recipe that will engage your mind and your senses. Enjoy!
The original Chicken Marbella is a delicious recipe from The Silver Palette in NYC. This version switches out lamb for chicken. It's amazing.
