Dateline: January 8, 2021 Lamb Chops and Roasted Root Veggies

The other day I was surveying the fridge, and decided that things had to be made to take up less space.  I had a couple of turnips, a huge rutabaga, some orange bell peppers and left over broccoli.  Chop up some onions, add garlic, and voila, dinner side dish.

As you can see, I cubed up the rutabaga and turnips, splashed some olive oil on them, and added some salt, pepper, cumin, and coriander.  Into a 400° F oven for about 40-50 minutes, keep checking, until they were crisped and deeply browned.  All of that turnip-y smell and flavor had disappeared and you were left with a crunchy exterior and a creamy interior!  A miracle!

Next step, get out the wok, and heat up some oil, fry the onions, peppers, and garlic until softened, add a little stock and some chopped preserved lemon, and lastly the broccoli.  Perfect.  A delightful side, if I do say!

The lamb chops were seasoned with salt and pepper and broiled for 5 minutes on the first side, and about 3.5 minutes on the second.  They were perfectly cooked.  Rare, but not raw, cooked to the bone and delicious too!
