If you’re celebrating the season with a dinner party, consider this protein-rich, pistachio crusted lamb with green peas of our Petit Pois à la Francais. Pistachios have been shown to decrease the levels of LDL “bad cholesterol” in the body — offering antioxidants, phytosterols, and unsaturated fatty acids to promote a healthy heart. Meanwhile lamb offers an explosion of B vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12) along with other helpful body building blocks. And green peas are among the world’s healthiest foods, providing Vitamin K and manganese for healthy blood and bones, plus additional vitamins and minerals.
