Roasted Rack of Lamb with Spring Succotash and Wilted Spinach

Ingredients

  • 1 medium Yukon gold potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks

  • For lamb
    • 3/4 cups extra-virgin olive oil
    • 24 cloves (about 2 heads) garlic, peeled and smashed with back of knife
    • 2 cups loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped (from 1 bunch)
    • 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh thyme leaves, chopped (from 1/2 bunch)
    • 4 (1- to 1 1/2-pound) racks of lamb, trimmed of all but a 1/4-inch layer fat and frenched (each rack should have 8 ribs)*
    • 2 tablespoons sea salt
    • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper

    For succotash and spinach
    • 2 tablespoons canola oil
    • 1 cup raw corn kernels (cut from 2 cobs)
    • 1 celery stalk, minced
    • 1 garlic clove, minced
    • 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves (from 8 sprigs)
    • 1/2 cup fresh black-eyed peas**
    • 1/2 cup dry white wine
    • 1 cup vegetable broth
    • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
    • 3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 medium lemon)
    • 2 teaspoons sea salt
    • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • 3 tablespoon olive oil
    • 8 cups loosely packed baby spinach leaves (about 7 ounces)

    • *1- to 1 1/2-pound racks of lamb are sometimes called 'baby racks of lamb.' Ask your butcher to trim the fat from the meat and between the bones.

    • **If fresh black-eyed peas are unavailable, canned are a good substitute. You will need 1/4 of a 15 1/2-ounce can.

    • Special equipment: One large (2-gallon) heavy-duty sealable plastic bag
