Mid Wales Lamb & Microgreens: A Perfect BBQ Pairing

Mid Wales is renowned for its clean countryside, rolling pastures and exceptional lamb. For this dish, lamb chops were marinated for 6 hours with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic and a sweet-and-sour sauce before being cooked over charcoal to achieve a rich flavour and beautifully caramelised finish.

To complement the bold character of grilled lamb, fresh microgreens add balance, texture and freshness to the plate.

Why Microgreens Work So Well with Lamb

Lamb is naturally rich in protein, iron and essential nutrients, while microgreens bring freshness, colour and concentrated plant nutrients that help create a more balanced and enjoyable meal.

The Perfect Microgreens for Charcoal-Grilled Lamb

Sunflower Microgreens

Crunchy, juicy and slightly nutty, sunflower microgreens pair naturally with the smoky flavours of grilled lamb.

Pea Shoots

Sweet and fresh, pea shoots complement the garlic marinade and add a light, vibrant finish.

Radish Microgreens

With a subtle peppery kick, radish microgreens enhance the black pepper notes and help cut through the richness of the meat.

A Simple Finishing Touch

Fresh, flavourful and naturally nutritious — the perfect finishing touch for premium Mid Wales lamb.
