CHICKEN & BOK CHOY SOUP WITH GINGER & MUSHROOMS
What is so obliging about this hearty chicken soup is that you can add any vegetables that suit your fancy: napa or Savoy cabbage, mushrooms, Chinese broccoli, broccolini, onions, leeks, mustard or turnip greens, celery or whatever tickles your bonnet. Just be sure that you don't overcook the vegetables. Spice it up with chile sauce, such as sriracha, and/or serve the soup over noodles to make it a more substantial main dish.

Steps:
- Marinate the lamb: Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, red pepper flakes, 2 teaspoons salt and several grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl; whisk until smooth. Place the lamb on a rimmed baking sheet or in a roasting pan; poke about 10 slits into each side with the tip of a paring knife. Rub the marinade all over the lamb, massaging it into the meat and slits. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Remove the lamb from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature about 1 hour before roasting. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and set a rack in a roasting pan. Wipe any excess marinade off the lamb and season all over with salt and pepper; transfer to the rack. Roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 130 degrees F to 135 degrees F, about 1 hour 50 minutes. Remove from the oven, transfer to a cutting board and let rest 30 to 45 minutes before carving.
- Meanwhile, make the mint sauce: Combine the mint, parsley, garlic, mustard, capers, lemon juice, sugar, red pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a blender and puree until smooth. With the machine running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl. Carve the lamb and serve with the sauce.

PLUM LAMB CASSEROLE

Fruity and flavorful, this wonderful glaze is simple to prepare, and its hint of garlic really complements the lamb. The recipe makes enough glaze to baste the lamb during roasting and leaves plenty to pass when serving. -Ann Eastman Greenville, California

Tips for Making Roast Lamb with Plum Sauce:
- Choose the Right Cut of Lamb: Opt for a well-marbled cut like a leg of lamb or a shoulder roast for a tender and flavorful result.
- Marinate the Lamb: Marinating the lamb in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and liquids helps tenderize and infuse it with delicious flavors.
- Sear the Lamb: Searing the lamb in a hot skillet before roasting gives it a beautiful browned crust and locks in the juices.
- Roast the Lamb Properly: Roast the lamb at a high temperature initially to create a flavorful crust, then reduce the heat to allow the meat to cook evenly throughout.
- Make a Rich and Tangy Plum Sauce: Use a combination of fresh or dried plums, red wine, and spices to create a sweet and savory sauce that complements the lamb perfectly.
- Rest the Lamb Before Slicing: Allow the lamb to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing to let the juices redistribute, resulting in a more tender and juicy meat.
