7. a greek salad with feta cheese

and olives.

8. Risotto, grilled eggplant, couscous

Bold meats like lamb need bland side dishes

9. Saffron rice with a hint of lemon zest.

10. Julia Child's 40-cloves-of-garlic mashed potatoes. Don't worry, you sautee the garlic first

so it doesn't bite your face off.

The absolute PERFECT accompaniment to lamb.

13. Curried rice, fer shur.

Asparagus w/lemon sauce (mayo & lemon juice blended).
Kind of a quick & easy Hollandaise.
And mint jelly, of course.
Pepper jelly is good too.
