Laaaaammmberrtt!

Last night, I made a delicious meal for The Academy Awards. We had marinated lamb chops with a cauliflower puree and a green salad. For dessert, we had chocolate pudding covered in Cool Whip. Scrumptious!

Marinated Lamb Chops:

2 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves chopped
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
S&P

Whisk all ingredients together and transfer to a large zip lock plastic bag. Add 4-6 lamb chops and seal bag making sure to release all excess air. Shake bag to thoroughly coat the lamb chops. refrigerate for 2 hours. Grill or broil lamb chops (4 minutes each side for medium).

Cauliflower puree:

1 whole cauliflower broken up into florets. put into sauce pan with 1/2 cup chicken or beef stock, 1 garlic clove smashed. Bring the stock to a boil and cover the pan for about 10 minutes, cooking until the cauliflower is soft to the touch of a fork. Pour the entire contents into a food processor and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Add cream or milk as the mixture purees to desired consistency. S&P to taste.
