"This classic Jersey starter is a hearty, comforting soup that mirrors the rustic and wholesome nature of the lamb. The savory bacon and earthy beans provide a complementary flavor profile without overpowering the richness of the lamb, while the fresh parsley brightens the palate."

Dessert

Jersey Apple Cake with Lavender-Infused Cream

A light and fragrant apple cake provides a refreshing counterpoint to rich lamb. The lavender in the cream adds a subtle floral note that complements the herbal notes in the main dish, while the sweetness of the apples cleanses the palate without being overly heavy.
