Yes, we realize we fall back on rack of lamb entirely too often as our go-to special dinner. I’m aware that we enjoyed the same lamb and sauce on New Year’s Eve. Have you any idea how easy it is to cook rack of lamb? Seriously, 350 degrees for 20 minutes and you’ve achieved perfection.
Add in the rice cooker drunken risotto with porcini mushrooms and some steamed asparagus and you’ve got a no frills meal that screams, “I love you.” Or “I love eating,” or something like that.
The wine we had made the meal even more specialĀ — a Stag’s Leap Cabernet Sauvignon Artemis we received as a gift for Christmas. And it also went perfectly with the molten chocolate cake we indulged in for dessert.
