1 Lamb

Ingredients

• 3 lamb racks
• 1 bunch rosemary, chopped
• Olive oil
• Salt & black pepper

Preparation

Season the racks with oil and some of the rosemary. In a hot pan, place the rack in, fat side down, and roast at 400°F for four minutes. Turn lamb and roast an additional three minutes. Remove from oven and let rest, preferably on a rack, until ready to cut. Reserve drippings from the meat.

2 Potato & Asparagus

• 3 lbs. fingerling potato
• 1 bunch asparagus
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 2 lemons (juiced)
• 2 Tbs. olive oil
• 1 Bay leaf

Preparation

Place the fingerling potatoes and bay leaf in a pot of salted water; bring to a boil and cook for four minutes.  Turn the heat off and let the potatoes cool in the liquid. Meanwhile, peel the asparagus.

Place the asparagus and potatoes in a baking dish and season with the olive oil, butter, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Roast the vegetables in at 400° F for eight minutes. Remove the vegetables and keep warm until serving.

3 Crème Fraiche

5 Serve
