Lamb, is perfect with asparagus. Use a star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes from potato slices and add a whimsical touch to this traditional dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 rib racks of lamb, trimmed (about 1 1/2 pounds each) shopping list
- 1 tablespoon dijon-style mustard shopping list
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary shopping list
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley shopping list
- 2 shallots or 1/4 red onion, finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons) shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed dried thyme shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 4 large potatoes (about 2 pounds) shopping list
- 1 tablespoon olive oil shopping list
- 24 spears asparagus (about 1 1/2 pounds) shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 400F. Score the fat on the lamb in a crisscross fashion. Cover exposed rib ends with foil and rub lamb with mustard.
- In a small bowl, combine rosemary, parsley, shallots, thyme and salt; sprinkle on lamb. Place lamb in a shallow baking pan; bake for 35-40 minutes.
- Slice potatoes lengthwise into 3/8-inch pieces. Using a 2-inch star cookie cutter, cut out shapes. Toss potatoes with oil and place in baking pan around lamb. Continue baking until lamb is medium (150F on an instant-read thermometer) and potato stars are golden, about 40 minutes longer. Cover and let stand 10 minutes.
- Clean asparagus, trimming off tough stem ends, if necessary. Place in a large skillet with 2 cups water. Cover and bring to a boil; simmer 5-10 minutes, until asparagus is just tender.
- Using a sharp knife, cut rack of lamb between ribs to form chops. Place 2 chops on each individual plate. Serve the lamb chops with potato stars and asparagus.
