Health notes: About 600-700 calories per serving. Strong in protein and iron from lamb, with fiber and potassium from fingerlings, zucchini, and peppers. Trim visible fat and go easy on added oil if you want to lighten it further.
Drink pairing: Pinot Noir is a versatile, elegant red for lamb and grilled vegetables, while Syrah brings a peppery edge that flatters the char from the grill.
