Preparation
Roast the potatoes & cipollini onions
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Halve the potatoes lengthwise. Peel and cut off the root end of the onions (halve crosswise if large). On a lined sheet pan, toss the potatoes and onions with a drizzle of oil; season with ½ the spice blend and S&P. Arrange the vegetables in a single, even layer and roast in the oven, 20 to 25 minutes, until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven and set aside in a warm spot.
Mise en place
While the potatoes and onions roast, zest and juice the lemon. Roughly chop the parsley leaves and stems.
Cook the French beans
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the French beans and cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, until beginning to brown. Add 1 tbsp of water (double for 4 portions); season with S&P. Cook, covered, 2 to 4 minutes, until crisp-tender. Transfer to a bowl and set aside in a warm spot. Wipe out the pan.
Cook the lamb
In the same pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towel; season with the remaining spice blend and S&P. Add the lamb chops to the pan and cook, 2 to 4 minutes per side or until cooked as desired. Transfer to a plate, leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan.
Make the sauce
Heat the pan of fond on medium. Add the maple syrup, vinegar and as much of the lemon juice as you’d like. Bring to a boil and cook, 2 to 4 minutes, scraping any browned bits (or fond) from the bottom of the pan, until thickened; season with S&P to taste.
Finish & serve
To the pan of potatoes and onions, add the parsley and as much of the lemon zest as you’d like; toss to combine thoroughly and season with S&P to taste. Divide the herbed potatoes and onions between your plates. Top with the French beans and lamb chops. Spoon the maple-balsamic sauce over the lamb. Bon appétit!
Health Canada recommends cooking lamb to a minimum internal temperature of 63°C.
