What You’ll Need:
Ingredients
| Lamb: | ||
| 1 tbsp | butter, softened | 15 mL |
| 1 tbsp | grainy Dijon mustard | 15 mL |
| 1 tbsp | chopped fresh rosemary | 15 mL |
| 1/2 tsp | each, coarse salt and freshly cracked black pepper | 2 mL |
| 1 | crown of lamb, made from two 8-rib racks (approx. 4 lbs [2 kg]) | 1 |
| Rice: | ||
| 1 tbsp | butter | 15 mL |
| 1/2 cup | minced shallots | 125 mL |
| 1 cup | sliced shiitake mushrooms | 250 mL |
| 1/2 tsp | each, coarse salt and freshly cracked black pepper | 2 mL |
| 1-1/2 cups | Tex Farm long grain white rice | 375 mL |
| 1 cup | white wine | 250 mL |
| 2 cups | chicken broth | 500 mL |
| 3 cups | chopped asparagus | 750 mL |
| 1 tbsp | lemon zest | 15 mL |
| 1 tbsp | chopped fresh mint | 15 mL |
| Sauce: | ||
| 1 tbsp | butter | 15 mL |
| 2 | large shallots, minced | 2 |
| 1 cup | dry white wine | 250 mL |
| 1 cup | chicken broth | 250 mL |
| 1/4 cup | chopped fresh chives | 50 mL |
Directions
Roast lamb in a 350°F (180°C) oven for 20 minutes. Spoon rice mixture into the centre, and return to oven until lamb reaches desired doneness, about 15 minutes for medium rare 160°F (70°C) (time will vary significantly, depending on the size of the lamb).
Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
While lamb is resting, in medium saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook shallots, until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in wine and cook until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add broth and chives and cook down until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Spoon sauce over servings of lamb alongside rice.
Makes 8 servings.
