Introduction

A summer staple in my house. Use fresh garlic, as it mellows nicely once it cooks. All of my kids love this recipe.
About the ingredients:
I buy the frozen New Zealand lamb in the 500g tube. It is quite lean and never tastes old.
The nectarines can easily be substituted with peaches or our favorite Mangoes!
Freeze the goat cheese before using it, then break it into dime size chunks so you get a great bite of goat cheese every so often
