I don’t know about you, but sometimes there is nothing more that I want to do when I get home than have a nice meal and enjoy a good drink after a long day at the office. Often times I’m too tired to exert much effort on such days, but here’s an easy solution.
I coated the lamb chops with olive oil and sprinkled with garlic salt, celery seeds, rosemary, and pepper. Then I tossed it on my cast iron grill pan and cooked it for a few minutes on each side. To prepare the beans I dumped the box of frozen lima beans into a pan with enough water to cover them in addition to a tablespoon or so (depending on your arteries) of butter and some salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. I left it on the fire until the water evaporated and then added some additional butter to saute the beans a little bit (a nifty little tip I received from my friend Josh). Be sure to check and adjust the seasonings if needed. I paired it with a Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand that was quite tasty.
…and yes, I think I did finish that bottle of wine. I first tried it with dinner at a restaurant near union square and it had to have cost $30+ for the bottle, but of course when I went to my local wine store it was closer to $10! Alcohol is definitely where the money is in the restaurant business. I wonder how much the wine store paid for it…
