Instructions

Dijon mustard

1/4 cup

grainy mustard

1/4 cup

olive oil

1/4 cup

maple syrup

2 tbsp

finely chopped fresh rosemary

2 tbsp

finely chopped fresh thyme

1 tbsp

cloves garlic, minced

butternut squash, seeded

kosher salt and pepper, divided

1 1/2 tsp each

Frenched racks of lamb (about 1 1/2 lb each)

finely chopped fresh parsley

2 tbsp

Preheat your Kenyon Grill to medium heat. Whisk together Dijon and grainy mustard, olive oil, maple syrup, rosemary, thyme and garlic. Divide into three portions; set aside.

Cut butternut squash into quarters, then into 1-inch thick wedges; season with 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper. Toss with one portion of the reserved mustard mixture.

Grill, covered and turning often, for about 20 minutes or until well-marked and tender. Transfer to platter; cover with foil.

Increase grill to medium-high. Season lamb all over with remaining salt and pepper. Spread one portion of the mustard mixture over both racks of lamb. Grill, covered, for 25 to 30 minutes or until instant-read thermometer inserted into center of each rack registers 130°F (55°C) for medium-rare. Transfer to cutting board and tent with foil. Let stand for 5 minutes. Carve into individual chops; sprinkle with parsley. Serve with butternut squash and remaining mustard mixture.

TIP

Add a pinch of hot pepper flakes to the mustard mixture for an entrée with some heat.
