Easy pea-sy Meal For A Cold Spring Night!


We're lucky here in Sonoma. The days are growing warm if not downright hot, and the nights are still briskly cool. We're also fortunate in that there's a whole lot of great stuff coming into season and readily available. One of those things is spring lamb from Sonoma Direct. One pound of ground lamb makes a great and fast-cooking centerpiece dish for a simple spring lunch or dinner for the family.
I love this dish because it's easy and one only needs to add one more vegetable or a salad and some chapattis and boom! The meal is done.
It's called Kheema Mattar, mattar is peas in Punjabi...so, ground meat and peas. Here's how simple it is.
