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.
