Collard Greens

Mint Chimichurri

Method

Lamb Chops Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine the chopped rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Lamb

    Rub the marinade all over the rack of lamb, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

Whipped Mashed Potatoes Preparation

  1. 3

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cubed russet potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

  2. 4

    Whip the Potatoes

    Add butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy, then set aside and keep warm.

Pickled Vegetables Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Pickling Liquid

    In a saucepan, combine white vinegar, sugar, salt, and water. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve.

  2. 6

    Pickle the Vegetables

    Place the sliced carrots and cucumber in a jar. Pour the hot pickling liquid over the vegetables. Seal the jar and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Collard Greens Preparation

  1. 7

    Sauté the Collard Greens

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 8

    Cook the Collard Greens

    Add the chopped collard greens to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until wilted and tender.

Mint Chimichurri Preparation

  1. 9

    Combine the Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix together the chopped mint, parsley, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 10

    Serve

    Let the chimichurri sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving alongside the lamb chops.

Cooking the Lamb Chops

  1. 11

    Sear the Lamb

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated rack of lamb for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness (medium-rare is about 135°F).

  2. 12

    Rest and Slice

    Remove the lamb from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into individual chops.
