Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Lamb
1 1/2 cups plain whole-milk yogurt
6 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon ground cardamom
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
3 1 1/2-pound racks of lamb, fat trimmed, cut into individual chops
Vegetables
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 large shallots, peeled, thinly sliced
2 large leeks (white and pale green parts only), thinly sliced
3/4 teaspoon saffron threads
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 1/2 cups water
2 large turnips, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 large carrots, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 large rutabagas, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
Red Bell Pepper Sauce

Steps:

  • For lamb:
  • Whisk first 6 ingredients in medium bowl. Place chops on large rimmed baking sheet. Pour marinade over, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.
  • For vegetables:
  • Melt butter with oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots, leeks, saffron, and turmeric; sauté 5 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups water, turnips, carrots, and rutabagas. Cover and simmer until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, prepare barbecue (medium heat). Brush grill with oil. Remove lamb from marinade, scraping off some of excess marinade. Sprinkle lamb with salt and pepper. Grill to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  • Divide grilled lamb chops among 6 plates. Serve with saffron vegetables and Red Bell Pepper Sauce.
