Strawberries and lamb may seem an odd couple, but the bright acidic berries go incredibly well with the rich, grassy meat. Plus, the pan sauce provides a great opportunity to give your past-their-prime fruit a new lease on life. When they’re added to the skillet alongside a rack of lamb, they make a luscious, buttery sauce perfect for spooning over the tender chops.
