Grilled Lamb Chops with Charmoula
How To Prepare
Rub the lamb with olive oil and generously coat with ras el hanout. (If not using the ras el hanout, season generously pepper, and a little cumin.) Preheat your grill, then grill about 2 minutes per side for medium rare. Let the meat rest a few minutes before serving.
For the Charmoula
Combine all of the Charmoula ingredients in a food processor or magic bullet and pulse until a pesto-like consistency. Don’t overblend – it shouldn’t be completely liquified.
Serve the lamb chops with a generous helping of Charmoula and some fresh lemon zest. Perfect with grilled asparagus and cauliflower puree on the side.

Easy Pot Roast
How To Prepare
Season your roast with pepper. Sear in a hot pan until browned on all sides. Add to a crock pot. (note: I used a 5 quart but you can easily go much smaller. If you are using a small one, cut the roast into two pieces to fit – be aware that you may have to add more liquid to cover it)
Add everything but the parsley to the pot and cover. Cook on high for five hours.
Taste and season with pepper as desired. Serve garnished with fresh parsley over roasted rutabaga, cauliflower puree, or the side of your choice.
