  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Transfer sliced potatoes into a large pot with enough cold water to cover the potatoes by a couple of inches. Stir in 1 rounded tablespoon kosher salt and 2 ½ teaspoons dried mint. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and let cook until tender, about 15 minutes, checking every 5 to 6 minutes for doneness. Drain well.
  3. 3 Transfer cooked potatoes to a large mixing bowl and let cool slightly.
  4. 4 While potatoes cool, heat ¼ cup olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add red onion, red bell pepper, garlic, and a pinch of salt; cook and stir for just 1 minute. Turn off the heat and stir in remaining dried mint.
  5. 5 Drizzle freshly squeezed lemon juice into potatoes and toss gently with a spatula. Add green onions, red onion mixture, remaining olive oil, fresh mint, fresh parsley, salt to taste, black pepper, chili flakes, and cayenne. Mix with a spatula until combined.
  6. 6 Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled and flavors have melded, 3 to 4 hours.

Instructions

  1. 1 Fill a pot with 3 inches of water, insert a steamer basket, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium or medium-low and place beets inside the steamer basket. Cover pot. Cook until beets are easily pierced with a knife, checking water level periodically, 35 to 50 minutes. Remove from heat and cool, about 30 minutes.
  2. 2 Peel the beets; if you are using red and golden beets, peel the golden ones first so you don't end up turning them pink. Remove any remaining root stems. Thinly slice beets and arrange on a serving platter. I use a round plate and start in the center, alternating red and golden beet slices. Dot the top with goat cheese – you want to be able to see the beets but have enough cheese because it pairs so well with the beet. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
  3. 3 Combine rice vinegar, olive oil, mint, and sugar in a small bowl. Drizzle over beets.

  2. 2 Pour lemon juice into a small bowl; sprinkle with gelatin. Let sit until gelatin softened, about 5 minutes; mix well. Set aside.
  3. 3 Combine heavy cream, half and half, and 2 teaspoons lemon zest in a saucepan over low heat. Add sugar, stirring frequently, until sugar completely dissolved; heat slowly until just about to boil, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. 4 Whisk gelatin mixture and vanilla extract into cream mixture until well blended and gelatin is completely dissolved; continue to lightly whisk until mixture comes close to room temperature, about 10 minutes. This will prevent the gelatin and cream from separating while panna cotta is setting.
  5. 5 Divide mixture into ramekins, about 1/2 cup per portion. Cover each ramekin with plastic wrap; refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.
  6. 6 Run a knife around inside edges of ramekins. Carefully dip each ramekin into a bowl of hot water 3 to 5 seconds. Carefully invert onto serving plates, tap, and jiggle ramekins a bit, if needed, to release panna cotta onto plates.
  7. 7 Garnish with lemon zest and mint leaves; serve with fresh blueberries.

Instructions

  1. 1 Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil for agrodolce in a pan over medium-high heat. Saute onion with a pinch of salt in the hot oil until they start to soften up and take on some color, 4 to 5 minutes. Drizzle in more olive oil if the onions look dry. Add chile peppers and garlic; cook until peppers just start to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add dried mint and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar; cook, stirring, for exactly 1 minute. Turn off the heat. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
  2. 2 Meanwhile, cut the lamb into four equal 4-ounce pieces and pound between plastic wrap to about 1/8-inch thick medallions. Trim any easy-to-cut silver skin off if you like. Transfer to a Silpat®-lined baking sheet and season generously with kosher salt and pepper. Dust both sides of the meat generously with flour using a sifter and let sit for at least 10 minutes before frying.
  3. 3 While lamb rests, stir salt and pepper to taste, cayenne, remaining 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, rosemary, and parsley into the agrodolce mixture. Taste and adjust, adding more salt, oil, and/or vinegar as you see fit. Reserve until needed; keep in fridge if making ahead, but let come to room temperature before serving.
  4. 4 Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, but not quite smoking. Pan-fry the lamb medallions until browned, about 2 minutes per side. They are very thin, so be careful not to overcook. Serve immediately topped with the agrodolce.
