Kitchen Table Philosophy

  • The kitchen table as home, community and center of a busy lifestyle in an international world. In a well traveled life, the kitchen table has been a gathering point for new and old friends and a growing family. Cooking, entertaining, and sharing food together at the kitchen table connects us, bridges cultures and is a shared language, no matter our location.

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tblsp. Dijon-style mustard
4 garlic cloves, minced

Coarse sea salt

Place lamb in a wide bowl or dish.  Combine olive oil, mustard and garlic in a small bowl.  Pour over lamb and distribute evenly with hands.  Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper. Allow to sit and marinate at room temperature for one hour.  (Can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance.  Cover and refrigerate.  Allow to come to room temperature before grilling.)
