LAMB/SHOULDER CHOPS - AVEC CREAMY ASPARAGUS/RICOTTA/CURRY SAUCE
Lamb Shoulder Chops are probably not a purchase consideration as frequently as the more popular lamb chop, because of the less tender quality, less attractive appearance. However, the beauty of Lamb Shoulder Chops is in their versatility. Cook them up as a "chop" a "steak", marinate and barbecue as you would the more expensive lamb cut, or cut them up and make a delicious hot-pot, fit for kings and their courtege. Overnight marinating transform these Cinderellas into the Belle-of-the-Ball. Accompaniments could include boiled, creamy parslied potatoes, lemony-fiddleheads in season, broccoli/slivered almond casserole, or just a big old-country endive salad with an extra-virgin olive oil/balsamic vinegar dressing. Too many flavours would, after all detract from the Lamb/Shoulder Chops. You will, of course, serve your favourite white wine(s), or red(s) if you prefer, or both for your guests' preference. If your guests bring wine, serve their selection - save yours for future dinner parties, because your guests will want to return for a repeat performance. I suggest you prepare your accompaniments while the meat is baking so everything will be ready at the same time. Prep. time does not include the 24-hour marinating process. Cook time includes oven baking, and all stove-top cooking.

WARM ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH TOMATOES
You can eat this asparagus salad cold and use leftover cooked asparagus but I prefer it when the asparagus is still a little bit warm. Tastes great with meat or fish dishes.

Steps:
- In a mortar and pestle, coarsely crush fennel seeds (or place in a resealable bag and crush with the bottom of a skillet). Season chops generously with kosher salt, pepper, and fennel seeds. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes, or refrigerate, covered, up to 1 day.
- In a medium skillet, combine sugar, vinegar, ginger, and garlic over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by half, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add rhubarb and star anise; cook, stirring, until rhubarb is tender but not falling apart (watch carefully, as this can happen quickly), about 3 minutes. Transfer to a heatproof bowl and let cool completely (you should have about 1/2 cup).
- Heat a grill over direct heat to medium-high. Drizzle asparagus with oil; season with kosher salt and pepper. Brush grates with oil and grill lamb until a golden-brown crust forms and chops are medium-rare, about 3 minutes a side. Transfer to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
- Grill asparagus, turning occasionally, until charred in places and crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Toss watercress with flaky salt and a squeeze of lime. Serve alongside lamb chops, asparagus, rhubarb compote, and more lime wedges.
