Lamb and clams!

It was a busy day, with teaching in the morning, a trip to the dog park and general running around. Still I managed to produce a pretty tasty lunch.

I cooked up a batch of red pepper and onion oil. The peppers and onions get really sweet and I used them on a flame toasted piece of bread.

The meat is a lamb sirloin steak, tied in a circle. I let it rest, coated it with olive oil and seasoned it with salt then browned it in a cast iron pan. I finished it in the oven and served it with my intense sour cream dressing.

While the lamb was resting I quickly cooked the green beans in the same pan. They were fantastic.

I also made Clams with Celery and Vermouth.

In case you can't tell from the picture, it was fabulous! All of it.
