Rack of Lamb With a Merlot Glaze and Cherry Reduction Sauce image

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.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups merlot or 2 cups other red wine

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 (750 ml) bottle merlot
1 1/2 cups good quality balsamic vinegar

4 lamb racks, excess fat trimmed and bones frenched (1 1/2 to 2 lbs. each)
salt & freshly ground black pepper

rosemary sprig, for garnish

Steps:

  • To prepare the sauce; combine the wine, cherries, garlic and shallot in a saucepan over high heat and reduce until the mixture is almost dry, about 10 minutes.

  • Add the butter and stir until melted.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Keep warm until you are ready to serve.
  • Preheat oven to 300*F.

  • Set aside until you are ready to use it.
  • To prepare the lamb, season the racks well with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a large saute pan over high heat until smoking hot.
  • Add as many of the racks as will fit without overcrowding the pan, meat side down, and sear well, 3 to 4 minutes; transfer to a sheet pan.
  • Continue searing the remaining racks.
  • Baste the racks well with the glaze.
  • Set the pan in the oven and roast, basting every 5 minutes, until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 135*F for medium-rare doneness about 20 minutes.

ONE-PAN GLAZED RACK OF LAMB WITH SPICED RED ONIONS & POTATOES



One-pan glazed rack of lamb with spiced red onions & potatoes image

This recipe only has a few ingredients but North African spice blend ras el hanout adds a big punch of flavour

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

600g new potatoes , halved lengthways
3 red onions , each cut into 6 wedges
2 tsp ras el hanout
8 tbsp olive oil
2 racks of lamb , French trimmed (get your butcher to do this for you)
1 tbsp pomegranate molasses
2 tsp lemon thyme leaves

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. So next time you're looking for a special dish to serve your guests, give glazed racks of lamb a try. You won't be disappointed!
