We think we know all the accessories that go well with lamb: the classic mint, the aromatic rosemary, rich demi butter sauces… But what about something cleaner, lighter, tarter yet sweeter? This honey-cider marriage, with pungent mustard, brings out the best tantalizing tastes from these succulent chops. Lamb's got a new look, and we're clearing out the best runway space for it to strut its stuff. Tip: Make potatoes easier to cut by making a large slice that leaves a flat surface. Place the flat surface on the cutting board and get to slicing!
