Preparation
Make the mash
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Peel and medium-dice the potatoes. Add to the pot of boiling water and boil, 14 to 16 min., until very tender. Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and return to the pot. Off the heat, add 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) and the buttermilk. Mash, gradually adding the reserved cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency; season with S&P. Keep warm.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, pick the mint leaves off the stems; finely chop the leaves. Grate the garlic. Cut the mushrooms into ½ inch pieces. Remove the stem ends of the broccolini (halve lengthwise if large).
Cook the vegetables
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the mushrooms and broccolini. Sauté, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to soften. Add 1 tbsp water (double for 4 portions), ⅓ of the spices and S&P. Cook, partially covered, 1 to 2 min., until crisp-tender. Add 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions); stir well. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm. Reserve the pan.
Cook the lamb
Pat the lamb dry with paper towel; season with the remaining spices and S&P. In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the lamb* and cook, 2 to 4 min. per side, until cooked as desired.
Make the salsa
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the mint, maple syrup, garlic, vinegar and 3 tbsp olive oil (double for 4 portions).
Plate your dish
Divide the mash, vegetables and lamb between your plates. Spoon the salsa over the lamb. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking lamb to a minimum internal temperature of 63°C.
