Lamb Stir-Fry

Head to our instagram live for a video of Chef Skylar Bush making this stir fry with ingredients we had on hand— peas from the garden, spinach from The Nashville Farmers Market. We also used lamb from Ladies of the Lamb, also at The Nashville Farmers Market and the St Georges Market in Belle Meade on Thursdays. And while this was filmed in May during social distancing, we looped in musician Matt Wynn to accompany us.
