Lamb with potatoes in the oven

Cookinero 22 Aug 2025

Lamb is one of the most popular types of meat on the planet. It is the basis for most dishes of Eastern cuisine. Lamb is an excellent source of protein. It is enriched with vitamins (PP and group B), as well as useful microelements, such as iron. Due to these properties, this meat is often used in therapeutic diets for the prevention of iron deficiency anemia. The combination of lamb with potatoes, fresh herbs, garlic and spices is an ideal dish for both everyday lunch and a holiday!
