Lamb Chops

Garlic Smashed Potatoes

Vegetable of the Day

Method

Preparation and Marination

  1. 1

    Marinate the Lamb Chops

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the lamb chops and coat them well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Prepare Garlic Smashed Potatoes

    In a large pot, boil the cubed potatoes and whole garlic cloves until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain, then mash with butter, milk, salt, and black pepper until creamy.

  2. 3

    Grill the Lamb Chops

    Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  3. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Sauté or steam the seasonal vegetables of the day until tender.

  4. 5

    Make the Chef’s Signature Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 6

    Prepare the Side Salad

    In a bowl, toss mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then season with salt and black pepper.
