a few of my favorite things

Here is a picture of one of my cooking specialties. I make a killer herb crusted rack of lamb with truffle oil risotto and roasted asparagus. Again, sorry that the picture is sideways. It looks like the lamb is dominating the risotto and the asparagus is trying to stop it. Anyway..... This is my absolute favorite dish to cook and prepare for special occasions. The lamb is super easy. All you have to do is sprinkle the outside with salt and pepper, sear the outside to get a nice crispy exterior. Then you press on the crust which is bread crumbs(or crushed rice cereal or almond meal for gluten intollerant people) add some grated parmeggiano, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix it all together with a bit of olive oil and you are good to go. Pop it into an 375 degree oven for 10-15 minutes depending on how rare you like lamb(i say go rare!) and you can slice and eat.
Super easy and very impressive. Try it, it's hard not to like.
