GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH A BUTTERNUT SQUASH RING, COUSCOUS, ASPARAGUS
Steps:
- For the Lamb: Trim all fat from the lamb racks and cut each lamb rack into 4 pieces. Marinate the lamb in the olive oil, rosemary, and garlic for at least 1 day and up to 7 days, refrigerated. Remove the lamb from the marinade and remove all the rosemary and garlic sticking to the meat. Use 1 tablespoon of the spice rub to coat the racks. Grill the racks over high heat for 3 minutes on both sides. At this point lamb can be finished in a 400-degree oven in about 5 minutes for medium rare.
- For the Squash Rings: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Peel the squash. Starting at the top of the squash cut horizontally through squash at 1-inch intervals until you have 4 pieces. Using a pastry ring cutter remove inside of each piece so that you have a ring. Place rings in a baking dish. In a bowl combine the butter, honey, 1 tablespoon of the spice rub, lemon juice, and lemon oil. Pour over the squash rings. Cover with foil and bake for about 20 minutes or until the rings are soft.
- For the Asparagus: In boiling water blanch asparagus for about 2 minutes or until al dente. Shock in an ice bath. Use the chives as string to tie bundles of 5 asparagus together. When ready to serve saute the bundles in butter just until warmed through.
- For the Couscous: In a small pot bring the vegetable stock, 1 teaspoon olive oil, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon of the spice rub to a boil. Add couscous, stir, cover, and remove from heat. Couscous will be ready in about 5 minutes.
- For the Red Wine Sauce: Reduce all ingredients to a nice consistency and strain through a chinois.
- Serve the lamb with the Squash Rings, Asparagus, Couscous and Red Wine Sauce.
- For the Moroccan Spice Rub: Toast the coriander, cumin, fennel and grind in a spice grinder to a powder and add to the other spices. Mix well.
ROASTED LAMB CHOPS WITH CHARMOULA AND SKILLET ASPARAGUS
Charmoula, an aromatic Middle Eastern herb and garlic sauce, combines mint, parsley, sweet smoked paprika, cilantro, and cumin. It comes together in minutes in the food processor, and the lamb can marinate all day.
Yield Makes 4 servings
Number Of Ingredients 16
Steps:
- Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and toast until aromatic and slightly darker, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a food processor. Add the parsley, mint, cilantro, garlic, paprika, salt, and cayenne to processor. Using on/off turns, process until a coarse paste forms. With the machine running, gradually add 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Transfer 2 tablespoons charmoula to a small bowl; whisk in the lemon juice and remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Cover and chill sauce to serve with lamb.
- Transfer the remaining charmoula to a large resealable plastic bag. Add the lamb chops; seal the bag and turn to coat well. Chill at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
- Let the lamb and charmoula sauce stand in a bowl at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 500°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a rack on the prepared baking sheet. Place the lamb on the rack and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 130°F for medium-rare, about 13 minutes. Transfer the lamb to a platter. Tent with foil and let rest 5 minutes.
- Melt the butter with oil in a heavy large skillet over high heat. Add the asparagus and sauté until tender, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Add the shallots and lemon peel; sauté 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Place 2 lamb chops on each of 4 plates. Divide the asparagus among the plates. Drizzle the lamb and asparagus with charmoula sauce, passing any remaining sauce alongside.
LAMB WITH ASPARAGUS AND POTATOES
Here's a meal elegant enough for any special occasion -- but don't wait for one to try it. Yukon Golds are the best spuds to use because they hold their shape as they roast.

Steps:
- In a bowl, combine lemon zest and juice, garlic, and rosemary; whisk in 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons oil. Season lamb with salt and pepper. Place in a large resealable bag, and add marinade. Seal bag, pressing to remove as much air as possible. Turn bag several times to coat lamb in marinade. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour (or refrigerate overnight), flipping bag halfway through.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. (If lamb was marinated overnight, remove from refrigerator 1 hour before cooking.) Toss potatoes with remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a roasting pan, and roast 20 minutes.
- Remove lamb from marinade, and season with salt and pepper. Push potatoes to edges of pan, add marinade and lamb, and roast 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F, and cook 40 minutes. Add asparagus, tossing to coat in pan juices, and cook until lamb is medium-rare (an instant-read thermometer should read 130 degrees F when inserted in thickest part of lamb), about 20 minutes more.
- Tent lamb with foil, and let rest 20 minutes before carving and serving. If necessary to fully cook vegetables, return them to oven while meat is resting.
