Balsamic & Rosemary Roast Rack Of Lamb

March 26, 2016

Balsamic vinegar becomes a delicious sticky glaze on tender lamb chops. Make sure to let your roasted lamb rest, lightly covered, for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the meat to finish cooking and the juices to be reabsorbed.

Steamed Artichokes With Garlic Mayonnaise

March 21, 2016

Garlicky mayonnaise is one of the best things to dip artichoke leaves into. This spring superstar is actually a variety of thistle. Once steamed the leaves and heart are delicious. To eat an artichoke, dip the fleshy part of the leaf in sauce and pull through your teeth to remove the artichoke flesh and sauce. Throw away the leaf. After you’ve dipped your way through most of the leaves, pull away the center leaves to expose the prickly “choke.” Scoop away the choke and then dig into the tender heart.
