3Spread the mustard and minced garlic all over the lamb. Place the lamb in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then turn the broiler on. Broil the lamb 3-4 minutes or until the mustard is golden brown and caramelized.
4Remove from oven and rest before slicing.
For the Pantry Smashed Potatoes
1Slice the 3-4 Yukon golds (or whatever variety you have on hand) into 3-4 pieces each.
2Cover with water in a medium-sized sauce pan and bring to a boil for roughly 20 minutes. Reserve the starchy water to cook your instant potatoes according to the package instructions.
3After the instant potatoes are cooked, combine all potatoes along with milk and butter, and smash them.
For the Caramelized Onion Peas with Herbs
1Heat a skillet over medium heat and sauté the onions in the butter and olive oil until they are caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.
2Add the peas and cook until they are tender and heated through. Finish with any herbs you have on hand.
