Potatoes with Cipollini Onions, Broccolini & Garlic

Place the olive oil and garlic cloves in a small sauce pot. Heat over low and cook until the garlic cloves are golden brown and soft. Drain well, placing garlic on paper towels to remove excess oil. Reserve the oil.

Heat 1 oz garlic oil in sauté pan over medium high heat. Add the peeled onions and sauté for several minutes until the onions are golden brown all over. Set aside.

Heat the 1 oz garlic oil in a sauté pan over medium high heat. Add the potatoes in a single layer, let cook for several minutes on each side until golden brown.

Place a mound of the potato mixture slightly off center in the plate. Thinly slice the lamb – ( ¼ “ thick slices max.) and place a few slices partially over potato mixture. Spoon 1 ½ oz of Chimichurri over the lamb. Serve immediately.
