Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1 pound small cipolline or pearl onions
- Kosher salt
- 2 racks of lamb (3-3 1/2 pounds total), rib bones frenched, left at room temperature for 1 hour
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 cup olive oil
- 1 pound baby turnips, stems trimmed, halved or quartered if large
- 1 cup (packed) fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 1/2 cups (packed) fresh mint leaves, divided
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, finely grated
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Aleppo pepper or 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 3 tablespoons (or more) red wine vinegar, divided
Instructions
- Cook onions in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, 5-8 minutes; drain and let cool. Trim root ends and peel.
- Preheat oven to 425 °F. Season lamb with salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12" ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Cook lamb until browned, 5-8 minutes per side. Add onions and turnips to skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and toss to coat in pan drippings.
- Transfer skillet to oven and roast until vegetables are tender and browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of lamb registers 125 °F for medium-rare, 15-20 minutes. Transfer lamb to a cutting board; let rest 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, coarsely chop cilantro and 2 cups mint. Place in a medium bowl; add shallot, garlic, lemon juice, Aleppo pepper, if using, 2 tablespoons vinegar, and remaining 1 cup oil. Season salsa verde with salt, black pepper, and more vinegar, if desired.
- Transfer vegetables to a medium bowl; toss with remaining 1/2 cup mint leaves and 1 tablespoon vinegar. Slice lamb between ribs and serve with vegetables and salsa verde.
