Allergens

None

Ingredients

• 1 rack of lamb (about 2 pounds) 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, parsley) 3 tablespoons olive oil Salt and pepper, to taste For the Creamy Garlic Mashed Cauliflower: + 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets + 4 cloves garlic, minced + 1/2 cup heavy cream + Salt and pepper, to taste For the Zesty Lemon Asparagus: + 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed + 1 lemon, zested and juiced + Olive oil, for drizzling + Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the rack of lamb with salt and pepper on both sides. In a small bowl, mix the chopped herbs and olive oil to create a herb crust. Press the herb mixture onto the lamb, ensuring an even coating.
2. Place the seasoned rack of lamb on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast in the preheated oven for 18 20 minutes, or until desired doneness is reached (135°F internal temperature for medium rare). Let it rest for 5 minutes before carving.
3. Meanwhile, cook the cauliflower florets in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add the garlic, heavy cream, salt, and pepper, and mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside and keep warm.
4. In a separate pan, steam the asparagus for 3 4 minutes or until bright green and tender crisp. Toss with lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.
5. Slice the rested rack of lamb and serve alongside the mashed cauliflower and asparagus. Enjoy your mouthwatering keto friendly French dinner!

Chef’s Insight

To achieve the perfect medium-rare rack of lamb, you want an internal temperature of 135°F. The residual heat will continue cooking the meat after it has been removed from the oven.
