Ingredients

• 1 rack (approximately 8 ribs) New Zealand rack of lamb
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 large Sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for mash)
• 1 cup Canned three-bean mix (drained and rinsed)
• 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, diced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for relish)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (for relish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

Step 3

Rub the marinade evenly over the rack of lamb. Allow it to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sear the rack of lamb, fat side down, for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip the lamb and sear for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the lamb for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (for medium-rare) or your desired doneness. Remove and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 6

While the lamb cooks, prepare the sweet potato mash. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the cubed sweet potatoes. Boil for 12-15 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 7

Drain the sweet potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, heavy cream, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Mash until smooth and creamy. Cover and set aside.

Step 8

For the three-bean relish, combine the three-bean mix, diced red bell pepper, chopped red onion, parsley, red wine vinegar, honey, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper in a medium bowl. Toss well to coat and set aside.

Step 9

To serve, slice the rack of lamb into individual chops and place alongside a generous scoop of sweet potato mash. Spoon the three-bean relish over the plate or serve on the side. Enjoy!
