Description

A gourmet dish featuring succulent seared lamb chops served over creamy lobster-infused mashed potatoes, accompanied by tender roasted asparagus and garnished with fresh lemon wedges. This elegant meal combines rich flavors and textures, perfect for an impressive dinner.

Ingredients

Lamb Chops

  • 8 lamb chops
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Lobster Mashed Potatoes

  • 2 lobster tails
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Roasted Asparagus

  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lamb Chops: Season the lamb chops thoroughly with minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper to infuse them with flavor.
  2. Heat the Skillet: Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat to get it hot enough for searing.
  3. Sear the Lamb Chops: Cook the lamb chops in the hot skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until they reach your preferred doneness. Remove them from the skillet and let them rest to retain their juices.
  4. Cook the Lobster Tails: Bring a pot of water to a boil, then add the lobster tails. Boil for 8-10 minutes until the shells turn bright red, signaling they are cooked through.
  5. Remove and Chop Lobster Meat: Carefully extract the lobster meat from the shells and chop it finely for mixing with the potatoes.
  6. Cook the Potatoes: Boil the peeled and chopped potatoes in salted water for 15-20 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork.
  7. Drain Potatoes: Remove the potatoes from water and return them to the pot to prepare for mashing.
  8. Mash the Potatoes: Add heavy cream, butter, salt, and pepper to the potatoes and mash until smooth and creamy.
  9. Incorporate Lobster Meat: Gently fold the chopped lobster meat into the mashed potatoes, blending the flavors evenly.
  10. Prepare the Asparagus: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get ready for roasting the vegetables.
  11. Toss Asparagus: Coat the trimmed asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper to season before roasting.
  12. Roast Asparagus: Arrange the asparagus on a baking sheet and roast it in the oven for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
  13. Assemble the Dish: Place a generous scoop of lobster mashed potatoes in the center of each plate.
  14. Arrange Lamb Chops: Position the rested lamb chops artfully around the mashed potatoes to showcase the main protein.
  15. Add Roasted Asparagus: Place the roasted asparagus alongside the lamb and potatoes for a vibrant and healthy side.
  16. Garnish: Finish the plating with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh burst of citrus when desired.

Notes

  • Allow lamb chops to rest after searing to keep them juicy and tender.
  • Be careful not to overcook the lobster to maintain its sweet and tender texture.
  • You can substitute fresh rosemary with dried rosemary if fresh is unavailable, using about one-third the quantity.
  • If preferred, asparagus can be steamed instead of roasted for a different texture.
  • Use unsalted butter in mashed potatoes if you want more control over the salt level.
