RACK OF LAMB
Steps:
- In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, process the salt, rosemary, and garlic until they're as finely minced as possible. Add the mustard and balsamic vinegar and process for 1 minute. Place the lamb in a roasting or sheet pan with the ribs curving down, and coat the tops with the mustard mixture. Allow to stand for 1 hour at room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Roast the lamb for exactly 20 minutes for rare or 25 minutes for medium-rare. Remove from the oven and cover with aluminum foil. Allow to sit for 15 minutes, then cut into individual ribs and serve.

Turn and cook until other side is just browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to dish with fennel mixture, placing fat side up, and rub with half of oregano mixture. Wipe out skillet and repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, second rack of lamb, and remaining oregano mixture.

RACK OF LAMB WITH A MERLOT GLAZE AND CHERRY REDUCTION SAUCE
This is a truly special dinner entree. A bit labor intensive to start off with, but once you have the glaze and cherry sauce done the rest of the preparation goes together like a dream, and the taste is out of this world. If you really have some special guests you want to impress, then this is the perfect choice. I accompany mine with sea salt roasted baby potatoes and green beans.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the potatoes and onions into a large roasting tin. Scatter over half the ras el hanout, drizzle with 2 tbsp of the oil and toss together until completely coated. Put in the oven for 40 mins to roast, turning everything over once or twice so it cooks evenly.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp of oil in a frying pan and, one at a time, fry the fat side of the lamb well until dark brown, then remove from the pan. Remove the roasted veg from the oven. Season the lamb fat with the remaining ras el hanout, then drizzle or brush over the molasses. Put the lamb, fat-side up, among the potatoes and return to the oven. Cook for 20 mins for rare, 25 mins for pink and 30 mins for well done. Remove and leave to rest for 10 mins.
- Meanwhile, mix the thyme with the remaining oil and set aside. To serve, either bring the roasting tin to the table, carve the racks into chops and serve the potatoes straight from the pan, or remove the racks, cut them into thick three-boned chops, then spoon some of the potatoes onto each plate and rest a thick chop against them. Drizzle everything with the lemon thyme oil to serve.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality lamb racks. Look for racks that are evenly marbled and have a good amount of fat. This will help keep the lamb moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Prepare the lamb racks in advance. You can marinate the racks overnight or for up to 24 hours. This will help tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- Cook the lamb racks to your desired doneness. Lamb is typically cooked medium-rare or medium. However, you can cook it to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the lamb.
- Let the lamb racks rest before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the lamb racks with your favorite sides. Some popular sides include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or grilled asparagus.
Conclusion:
Glazed racks of lamb are a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can create a rack of lamb that is tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked.
