I kind of went out on a limb on this one, but got amazing responses to it. My chocolate sauce is a little bit like a Mexican mole sauce, but not really, anyway here is the procedure. You will need,
Lamb rack (frenched)
Chocolate (semi sweet)
Hazelnut coffee
Butter
Vegetables
Mashed Potato
Allspice, Nutmeg, Chipotle peppers, and Cinnamon.
To begin salt your lamb and roll it in the hazelnut coffee. Sear it on all sides. Put lamb in the oven until desired temperature is reached. While that is going on make your sauce. Melt down your chocolate (chocolate chips work) and then add a pinch of each spice. Add a little bit of chipotle, the amount depends on how hot you like things. You can thin the sauce out with a little heavy cream if you want, I like a thick sauce. Serve with mashed potatos and vegetables. The savoryness of the chipotle should tone down the chocolate and coffee a little, combined with its own natural juices. I call this fusion of sweet and savory cooking "swayvory". Usually if you stay within reason you can come up with some bomb flavor combos using this methodology of thinking. Enjoy.
