Steps:
- Allow the leg of lamb to rest at room temperature for 1 hour before cooking.
- Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place the oven rack in the lower third of the oven.
- Whisk the garlic, pepper, red pepper flakes, bay leaf, rosemary, 1/2 cup olive oil, vinegar, and honey together in a small bowl. Rub the mixture over the lamb, then season with 2 tablespoons coarse salt. Set aside. Place carrots, potatoes, beet, yam, and turnips in a large roasting pan. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil and a pinch of salt. Arrange the seasoned leg of lamb on top of the vegetables.
- Roast the lamb in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Continue roasting to your desired degree of doneness, about 90 minutes more for medium-rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
- Allow the leg of lamb on a cutting board, tented with aluminum foil, for 30 minutes before carving. Place the vegetables on a serving platter and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm until ready to serve.

PICKLED ROOT VEGETABLE SALAD
Steps:
- Combine the golden beets, parsnips and sweet potatoes in a heatproof mixing bowl, and combine the red beets and onions in another heatproof mixing bowl to prevent any bleeding from the red beets.
- Combine the vinegar, sugar, salt, mustard seeds, celery seed, peppercorns, garlic and 1 cup water in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat to dissolve the sugar and salt.
- Pour some of the hot pickling liquid over the red beets and onions just until they are submerged, and then pour the remaining liquid over the golden beets, parsnips and potatoes. Let the vegetables sit in the pickling liquid until just tender, about 1 hour.
- Drain the vegetables and plate the red beets and onions. Top with the other vegetables just before serving, and garnish with the goat cheese, parsley and pistachios and drizzle with olive oil.
Tips: Rack of Lamb Culinary Expertise
- Marinate the lamb: Marinating the lamb in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme helps tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can marinate the lamb for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Sear the lamb: Searing the lamb in a hot skillet creates a flavorful crust and helps to seal in the juices. Be sure to sear the lamb for only a few minutes per side, or it will become overcooked.
- Roast the lamb: After searing, roast the lamb in a preheated oven until it reaches your desired doneness. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the lamb chops.
- Make the mint-infused pickled vegetables: While the lamb is roasting, you can make the mint-infused pickled vegetables. These vegetables are a bright and refreshing complement to the lamb.
- Make the celery root puree: The celery root puree is a creamy and flavorful side dish that pairs well with the lamb. You can make the puree ahead of time and reheat it before serving.
- Make the hoisin-brandy sauce: The hoisin-brandy sauce is a sweet and savory sauce that adds a delicious glaze to the lamb. You can make the sauce ahead of time and reheat it before serving.
- Assemble the dish: To assemble the dish, place the lamb chops on a bed of celery root puree. Top the lamb with the mint-infused pickled vegetables and drizzle with the hoisin-brandy sauce. Serve immediately.
