The Bertotti Family enjoyed this simple and delicious recipe on New Year's Eve. It was given to us by our neighbors down the road who also raise sheep. We served it with garlic mashed potatoes, asparagus and a green salad - a great meal to ring in a new decade!

- (1 TBS, lightly crushed) Fresh Tyme leaves
- (1 TBS lightly crushed) Fresh Rosemary leaves
