Lamb:

1 Ontario lamb rack (about 12 ribs)

1 tbsp (15 mL) whole grain Dijon mustard

1 tbsp (15 mL) finely chopped fresh rosemary

1 tsp (5 mL) sea salt

Bubble `n squeak:

1 ½ lbs (750 g) Yukon Gold potatoes (about 3 large)

1 tbsp (15 mL) oil or butter

2 cups (500 mL) shredded savoy cabbage

1 cup (250 mL) sliced onion

Red onion marmalade:

¼ cup (50 mL) honey

¼ cup (50 mL) balsamic vinegar

½ cinnamon stick

¼ cup (50 mL) red wine

½ tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper

Steps:

Lamb:

In skillet, sear lamb over medium high heat until well browned, about 4 minutes. Brush lamb all over with mustard. Sprinkle with rosemary and salt. Arrange lamb on a foil-lined baking sheet and roast in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until pink. Remove and let rest for 10 minutes before carving into individual rib chops.

Bubble `n squeak:

Peel and cut potatoes into large chunks. Cook in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain well and mash. Set aside.

In large skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Stir in cabbage and onion, cooking until onion is tender and starts to brown, about 10 minutes. Add onion mixture to mashed potato and stir well to combine. Shape into six patties and return to skillet to brown well on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.

Red onion marmalade:

In medium saucepan, combine onions, sugar, honey, balsamic vinegar, cinnamon, red wine, salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are very tender and syrup is thick, about 1 hour.

Cook's Notes:
