Lamb Racks with Mustard Maple Glaze and Roasted Vegetables
This is a super simple meal just throw it all in a roasting pan and roast until done, so it is a wonderful no fuss meal. Depending on how thick you cut the vegetables, if you cut into thicker chunks you will have to par boil or they will not be cooked when the lamb is done. Make sure to keep them in about the 2cm cube size and it can all go in together and will all come out cooked beautifully.

2 Cloves garlic, sliced thinly

Korean Lamb Chops
I made this the other night, again from a zaar member it was a wonderful marinade. I had lamb racks, which I browned on the meat side and then finished off in the oven. I basted several times while cooking then sliced into individual chops. You will notice from the photo I slightly overcooked my lamb, as I was waiting for my hubby to get off the phone and I was trying to keep the lamb warm, but thanks to the marinade and basting it came out tender and was not tough.

                                                                                                                                                                          I am also thinking about starting back catering again, I have catered before for small dinner parties and for large parties of about 50 people, although never anything huge like a few hundred, but am always up for new challenges. I am based in the canton of Vaud in Switzerland and would like to cater from Lausanne to the Geneva area, if you are reading this site and are from around this area I would love to know what you think, so all comments welcome.
