Steps:
- In a food processor or blender, combine mint, dill, half of the olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, lemon juice and salt and pepper. If the mixture is a bit to "tight" loosen it up with a bit of water.
- Preheat oven to 450-degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with a raised edge with foil. I actually prefer to do this in a foil pan. Much easier clean-up.
- Place the lamb roast flat side up on the baking sheet. Place cut up potatoes around the lamb roast and drizzle with remaining olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Roast for 30-35 minutes for medium rare. Toss the potatoes half way through cooking to ensure even browning. An instant read thermometer should read 125-130 degrees Fahrenheit for medium rare)
- Remove pan from oven and place tenderloin on the cutting board. Let rest for 10 minutes.
- Toss the potatoes with half of the chimichurri sauce.
- Slice the lamb loin, drizzle with remaining sauce and enjoy.

- Serve chops drizzled with a little chimichurri and serve peas and remaining chimichurri on the side.
LAMB WITH MINT CHIMICHURRI
Though far less glorified than rib chops or legs, lamb shoulder is explosively delicious and juicy. Like the shoulders of pigs and cows, it is a hardworking muscle rippled with intramuscular fat, which makes it ideal for the stewing or braising that's requisite this times of year. But the shoulder's not that hardworking, which keeps it tender enough to be subjected to the shorter blasts of heat typically reserved for more elegant cuts.

Steps:
- 1. Stir together the 7 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper in a large bowl. Rub the marinade all over the lamb in a bowl, then truss tightly and marinate at least 3 hours in the refrigerator. 2. Preheat a grill for direct and indirect cooking over a medium-heat fire. Grill the lamb over direct heat until nicely charred, about 8 minutes per side, turning often. Then move to indirect heat, cover, and cook until the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F for medium-rare, about 50 minutes, turning occasionally. Transfer the lamb to a cutting board and let rest 15 minutes.
- 3. Toss the asparagus with the 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill the asparagus until tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
- 4. Pulse the remaining 2 whole garlic cloves in a food processor with the parsley, mint, the remaining 1/2 cup oil, the remaining 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Serve the lamb, sliced, with the asparagus and chimichurri sauce.
