Method for Lamb: Purchase a deboned leg of lamb. Season the lamb with salt and pepper – inside and out. Combine thyme and lemon zest with extra virgin olive oil. Spread mixture over interior. Tie with twine. Let sit for 20 minutes to overnight.

To Cook:  Heat a sauté pan over medium heat. Add 1 Tbsp. olive oil, then sear the lamb all over. Place in a 325° oven until 135° internal temperature. Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes in a warm place.

Method for Chimichurri: Combine all ingredients and let sit at room temp for 1 hour.

Method for Potatoes: Place the olive oil and garlic cloves in a small sauce pot. Heat over low and cook until the garlic cloves are golden brown and soft. Drain well, placing garlic on paper towels to remove excess oil. Reserve the oil.
Heat 1 oz. of the garlic oil in sauté pan over medium high heat. Add the peeled onions and sauté for several minutes until the onions are golden brown all over. Set aside. Heat the 1 oz. garlic oil in a sauté pan over medium high heat. Add the potatoes in a single layer, let cook for several minutes on each side until golden brown. Once the potatoes are browned, add the cooked onions, broccolini and garlic cloves. Toss to combine. Salt and pepper to taste.

To Serve:  Place a mound of the potato mixture slightly off center in the plate. Thinly slice the lamb – ( ¼ “ thick slices max.) and place a few slices partially over potato mixture. Spoon 1 ½ oz. of Chimichurri over the lamb. Serve immediately. Yield: 6 portions
