Dee Simpson was in town today and we went to lunch at La Salita, which he enjoyed very much. Dee built his own lunch with ground beef enchiladas, a Swiss cheese chili relleno and a ground beef taco. We ate four bowls of chips and salsa we liked them so much.
When Suzette arrived home we decided to grill thr rack of lamb she had bought yesterday at Costco.
She salted and peppered the lamb and grilled it to blood rare, so we wrapped it with aluminum foil for about five minutes to let it cook to almost medium rare.
I made tzatziki with about 3 cups of Trader Joes French Village whole milk yogurt, I clove of garlic, finely chopped, 1 1/2 cucumbers finely cubed, juice of 1 lemon, 1/2 Tbsp. of chopped dill and 1 Tbsp of chopped mint. I then picked 4 or 5 stalks of chives and diced them finely and added them to the tzatziki and chilled for while in the fridge to blend its flavors.
Dee and I went to the basement and picked bottle of my new house red; famille Perrin Cotes du Rhone Reserve. I bought. About10 bottles of the 2012 at Total Wine during the last French wine sale for $7.99 less 15% in May.
We loved the grilled lamb with mint jelly and tzatziki although a little redundant.
Bon Appetit
