One of my favorite autumn comfort food dinners.
Rack of lamb, Roasted brussel sprouts, mashed golden potatoes
Mashed Golden Potatoes:
* 4 medium sized Golden potatoes, cut into 2" pieces, skin on.
* Place in heavy pot, cover with water.
* Bring to a boil - cook for 15-20 minutes or until a knife pierces through the potato with no resistance.
Rack of Lamb:
* 1 rack of lamb, frenched
* Spread prepared Dijon mustard over the fat side of the rack.
* Press seasoned Panko breadcrumbs into the mustard.
* Place rack on a parchment lined sheet pan, in a pre-heated 450 degree oven.
* cook 20 minutes for rare, 25 minutes for medium rare. Remove from oven, tent with foil and let rest for 10-15 minutes. Cut into chops.
Roasted Brussel Sprouts:
* Trim ends of the sprouts and cut into 1/2 or 1/4, depending on how large the sprouts, keeping the end result uniform size.
* Toss with olive oil and generously sprinkle kosher salt.
* Place on parchment lined sheet pan.
* Place in the oven with the rack of lamb, but check after 5 minutes. Shouldn't take more than 8 - remove when browned but take care not to burn.
Don't be intimidated that these aren't exact recipes. This is a menu you can impress your friends with but isn't difficult at all. In fact, this entire meal can be made in well under an hour, even for the slow choppers!
You can buy a Frenched rack of lamb in grocery stores, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Costco or better yet, a butcher.
Enjoy!
