Recipe: Sesame Crusted Lamb Lollipops with Sweet Potato Mash

Main Ingredient: Lamb

Ingredients:

• Lamb Rack (8 ribs) – About 500 grams
• Sesame Seeds
• Olive oil
• Fresh rosemary
• Fresh garlic
• Salt and black pepper
• 200g Sweet potato
• 30g Butter
• Fresh parsley

Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven at 180°C (350°F).
2. Cut the lamb rack into individual ribs. Season with fresh ground black pepper, a pinch of salt, minced garlic, and finely chopped rosemary.
3. Pour some sesame seeds in a plate and press each side of the lamb rib in the seeds until it’s well coated.
4. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lamb lollipops and cook, turning until all sides are browned, about 5 minutes.
5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for approximately 15-20 min for medium-rare.
6. While the lamb is in the oven, peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Boil until tender and then drain.
7. Add butter, a pinch of salt and black pepper, and mash the sweet potatoes until smooth.
8. Stir in the chopped parsley.

Plating:

Arrange two lamb lollipops atop a generous portion of the sweet potato mash on a simple white plate. The vibrant orange of the mash should contrast nicely with the golden-brown lamb lollipops. Sprinkle some fresh chopped parsley over the entire dish for a pop of color. On one side of the plate, place a small sprig of rosemary as a rustic garnish.
