Marília Macedo, who is in love with Christmas, has prepared, with great care, easy and tasty recipes to be used during the Christmas festivities.
We brought a series of publications with Christmas recipes in order to increase your options for starters, main courses and desserts, with more classic and less obvious preparations, thus diversifying your Christmas dinner.
In this post, we bring the lamb loin recipe with watercress salad as a suggestion for a main course, leaving a bit of the usual for most suppers, which usually have turkey and ham.

Do not stop now... There's more after the advertising ;)
Preparation mode
Make incisions along the loin and season with butter, sliced garlic, salt and pepper. Let it sit in the mixture for at least two hours. Heat the oven to 180°C. Wrap meat in foil and roast with fat on top for approximately 30 minutes. Take it out of the oven and let the meat rest for at least 10 minutes before cutting. Serve the meat on a bed of watercress leaves, sprinkle with the prunes, coriander and mint.
Comments
- Loin of lamb can be replaced by loin of pork;
- Serves five people.
