Quick! I bought lamb, how to cook it?

Hey guys,
So I went to the Healthy Butcher earlier today. (Note that link is being reported as malicious in Firefox right now. Not exactly sure why, but the company is legit, at least as a B&M store)
Anyway, so I bought a mini boneless leg of lamb roast. It was expensive, like $43/kg (Mine was 422g).
So I invited the GF over for dinner tonight at around 7:30 or 8. I need to figure out how to prepare this. It's certified organic and local, so it's good meat. And did I mention expensive? So I really want to do this right.
The butcher said to put salt and pepper on it, sear the outside, and roast it in the oven for 20 mins until medium rare. I have a thermometer that I can use to monitor the temperature.
Is her suggestion the best way? It almost seems too simple. Any suggestions for what to pair with this dish? Just a little note: I'm on a low-carb diet, so while I can handle residual carbs, things like flour in a gravy probably should be avoided. My GF does not have this same restriction.
I'm also going to be making a cheesecake for dessert. Suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Awesome call on the asparagus, the GF loves that stuff. All I have at my disposal is an electric stovetop, oven, toaster oven and microwave. Plenty of pots and pans tho, suggestion for asparagus?
Fresh rosemary? Or is dried ok? I'm thinking, fresh cracked black pepper, kosher salt, and olive oil rubbed on the outside, garlic and rosemary shoved into the inside, sear it, then roast in the oven at 375F for 20 mins or so? Asparagus as a side. Anything I could do with the brown bits from the sear? Seems like a waste of fond...
Edit: If you're going to have the jelly, I'd recommend against the rosemary.
(You dip bites of lamb into the mint jelly, by the way. Don't cook the lamb in it.)
mmmm.
