Ingredients

• 3 large organic Fuji apples
• 2 oranges, juiced
• 2 pounds of boneless leg of lamb
• 5 large garlic cloves
• ¼ cup Italian parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 large yellow onions, sliced
• Olive oil
• Salt & pepper
• Microgreens for garnishing
• Cooking Twine

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. In the bowl of a food processor, add garlic cloves, parsley, thyme, rosemary, two tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
3. Pulse until a rough paste forms.
4. Untie the boneless leg of lamb and rub paste on all sides. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper (optional).
5. Retie the lamb with cooking twine and place it in a small roasting pan.
6. Roast in the oven for about 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F for rare.
7. Take the lamb out of the oven and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
8. While the lamb is roasting, heat olive oil on medium-high heat in a large sauté pan.
9. Add onions and make sure they are all coated with olive oil, and season with salt.
10. Let cook, stirring occasionally, for 30-40 minutes, and remove from the stove.
11. Slice organic Fuji apples vertically to create the apple sliders. Each apple should yield about six slices.
12. Immediately dip apple slices in the orange juice to prevent browning.
13. Top each apple piece with a slice of lamb, caramelized onions, and microgreens.
