Basil-Crusted Leg of Lamb with Lemon Vinaigrette
RECIPE—With its basil–and–pine nut crust and bracing dressing of lemon juice and Dijon mustard, this lamb dish bridges Brazil and Provence.
PAIRING—Lamb is wonderful with spicy Rhône blends, and Daniel Boulud and Vik Muniz poured several, including an older Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the powerful 2001 Bosquet des Papes. Another robust, less expensive Rhône blend is the dark-berried 2007 Charvin Le Poutet Côtes du Rhone.
