True masterpieces in meat need little to no help, but simple rosemary and garlic go a long way to enliven this roast leg of lamb and bring out surprising new dimensions in flavor. Serves 8. 

This decadent Frenched rack of lamb is balanced, decadent, and exquisite all on its own. But if we were to choose a partner, it would be this clean but flavorful farro salad, the perfect supporting act to a red-meat dish as sumptuous as this one. Serves 4.
