Roasted Lamb might be just the main course you are searching for. One portion of this dish contains approximately 39g of protein, 15g of fat, and If you have lemons, kitchen string, leg of lamb, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the lemons you could follow this main course with the Blackberry Lemon Chess Pie w/ Honey Jumbleberry Sauce. How I won the SF Food Wars – Pie or Die Competition as a dessert. It is a good option if you're following a gluten free, dairy free, and primal diet.
