Herbed Lamb with Strawberry Sauce 7th Shade of Valentine

Everyone loves a well cooked dinner, and every time we want to eat something fancy we pick a restaurant  But the thing about a restaurant is that is cannot always be intimate, so what is more intimate than a nicely cooked meal for that special someone. I know I would love it if I walked in through the door and saw this waiting for me with a bouquet of roses. So I present to you herbed lamb with strawberry sauce. I chose to do strawberry sauce because it’s something different, who doesn’t love strawberries. You know what else is great about the strawberry sauce, you can also serve it as a dessert with ice-cream.  I hope you love this recipe.
