Directions

For the Lamb:  Brush lamb lightly with olive oil; season with salt and pepper.  Grill until marked; brush on a thin coat of mustard.  Press herb crust mixture onto lamb; roast at 350°F to 400°F for about 10 minutes until medium-rare. 

For the Crust:  In a bowl, combine parsley, rosemary, mint, thyme, lavender, garlic, bread crumbs and olive oil; mix together well, until there are no “clumps.” 

For the Huckleberry Sauce:  In a hot saucepan, add port; reduce by half.  Add stock; reduce by about one-third over medium heat.  While reducing, add thyme, bay leaf and sage; season with salt to taste.  Add butter.  Before spooning sauce on plate, add huckleberries. 

Serve with roasted mushrooms and sweet potato puree.
