dinner tonight 3470

I found some lamb rib chops in the used meat section of the market. I grilled them.

I minced some garlic and some fresh mint and fresh thyme and mixed them with salt, pepper, lemon juice and olive oil and a dash of cayenne. After Frenching the chops (love that verb), I rubbed the garlic-herb stuff on them and turned to other things.

Other things included prepping some asparagus and an onion for grilling. I sliced the onion into thick slabs, oiled them, salted and peppered them, too. The asparagus just got some oil and salt.

Other other things included making a vinaigrette from the juice of a tangerine and half a lemon along with some French Dijon mustard, some minced mint and jalapeno, and opening a bag of prepared salad greens.

First I grilled the onions. Got them caramelized, but still firm enough to get most of them off the grill and onto a plate. Then I grilled the asparagus on a grill topper. Then I toasted some pecan halves on the same topper.

These all went onto the salad greens and got a dose of the vinaigrette.

Next came the lamb. I set them on the grill and popped a beer. After a couple of turns, they were medium rare and ready to plate on the salad.

Taste sensation.
