Ingredients – Roasted Potatoes:

3 Tablespoons olive oil

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 racks of lamb (approx. 3 pounds total, 12 to 14 cutlets)

Ingredients – Asparagus:

1 pound fresh asparagus

Butter to taste

Instructions:

Asparagus:Cut about 2 inches of the tough stalk ends off and discard. Steam or cook asparagus until tender but not soft, about 7 to 10 minutes. Drain, toss with butter, and serve.

Roasted Potatoes:Combine potatoes, oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; toss to coat well.

Lamb: Combine mint jelly and mustard in a small bowl; stir well. Combine bread crumbs, rosemary, mint, garlic, salt, and pepper in a separate small bowl; mix well. Brush lamb with jelly mixture, then coat surface with crumb mixture by patting on the top of the meat.

Arrange lamb racks in shallow roasting pan. Place potatoes around the lamb. Bake in preheated 400-degree oven for 70 to 75 minutes or until cutlets are pink in center. Slice cutlets apart; serve with potatoes and asparagus.

Serves: 6 to 7 (2 cutlets per person)
