ONTO THE FOOD!
Doesn't this look delicious!?!
Well I must tell you THAT IT WAS!
This was our Easter dinner and it was fantastic with a nice glass of red wine.
Logan was less enthused about the lamb, a little "gamey" for him...but I thought it was awesome.
The yogurt sauce was a PERFECT accompaniment and the orzo side was tasty as well.
While you will probably not eat lamb everyday, it is a nice special occasion meal and actually was not as expensive as I would have thought.
However next time I might splurge for a more expensive cut, because this was a little fatty.
This also might taste delicious with a sirloin or some sort of beef...let me know if you try it.
Did I mention this only takes 20 min?
A restaraunt quality meal in 20 min! YES it can be done.
Try to PROVE ME WRONG!
ENJOY!
Lamb Chops with Yogurt Sauce
4 lamb rib or shoulder chops (8oz each)
S&P
2 T olive oil
1/2 cup plain low fat yogurt
1 T minced shallot
2 tsp chopped fresh cilantro
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
Season both sides of the lamb chops with salt and pepper. Heat oil over med-high heat. Cook the lamb until it reaches 140 degrees (med-rare), 4-6 min per side. Let rest, covered for 10 min.
Meanwhile, make the sauce; in a med bowl, whisk together the yogurt, shallot, cilantro, and lemon juice. Season with S&P, serve with the lamb.
Serves 4.
Orzo and Snap Pea Salad

1 lb sugar snap peas, trimmed and halved crosswise
2 small yellow squash, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/2 in pieces

Cook orzo for 5 min in a pot of boiling water. Add peas and squash and cook until the orzo is al dente and the veggies are crisp-tender, about 3m in. Drain well and return to the pot.
