They say where there is a vineyard – there is civilization.  So I figured I had to be somewhat civilized about the way I did the lamb roast.  Just a little guy, weighing in at slightly over a pound.  So the civilized part was simply salt/pepper/fresh rosemary and olive oil. Roasted veggies were leek, potatoes, Japanese Eggplant, yellow and orange pepper and some onion thrown in.  Anna Olsen provided the inspiration for the date/goat cheese/pistachio salsa.
