Succulent lamb is served alongside honey-roasted tomatoes and cauliflower rice for this decadent dinner. Large dinners with several different components are not very common around my dinner table, mainly because we always have leftover food from my cooking job. But once in awhile, I gather the effort to make a large, fancy dinner, usually in honor of an event or holiday. Though the ingredients are simple, the flavors are worthy of any celebration.
Lamb is a bit of a splurge at the grocery store, so I wanted to be sure to present it with worthy accompaniments. Tomatoes drizzled with honey and then roasted in the oven turn out bright, sweet, and juicy. For a starch to round out the meal, I relied upon with my tried-and-true recipe for cauliflower rice
. The tomatoes and rice can also be prepared ahead of time and then reheated for serving.
- 2 pints cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 head of cauliflower, chopped coarsely
- 1/2 small onion, finely diced
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 4 double lamb rib chops, Frenched
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Coconut oil, for the pan
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the tomatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and honey. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes until soft.
- While the tomatoes are roasting, prepare the cauliflower rice. Place the cauliflower into a food processor and pulse until reduced to the size of rice grains. Melt the coconut oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5-6 minutes until translucent. Stir in the cauliflower, season with salt and pepper, and cover. Cook for 7-10 minutes until the cauliflower has softened, and then toss with parsley.
- To make the lamb, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Pat the lamb chops dry and rub with olive oil. Generously season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat one tablespoon of coconut oil in a cast iron skillet. When the pan is hot, add the ribs to the pan and sear for 2-3 minutes on all sides until golden brown.
- Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 5-8 minutes until the lamb reaches desired doneness. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- While the lamb is resting, add the red onion to the skillet with the pan drippings from the lamb. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, then add the white wine vinegar. Turn the heat to high and cook until the vinegar has mostly evaporated. Add the stock and bring to a boil, cooking until the sauce reduces by half. Stir in the mustard, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour over lamb rib chops to serve.
