GORDON RAMSAY'S HERB CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB RECIPE - (4.7/5)



Gordon Ramsay's Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by xoxochef

Number Of Ingredients 12

CRUST:
2 large racks of lamb, cut in half with 3 bones per serving
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 slices stale bread made into crumbs.
7 tablespoons grated parmesan, roughly 1/2 cup
1 sprig parsley
1 sprig thyme
1 sprig coriander
1 sprig rosemary
2 tablespoons English mustard, or dijon mustard
Splash of olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place lamb on cutting board fat side up. Lightly score the fat layer with a sharp knife. Next, generously sprinkle the lamb with salt and pepper. Mop up the excess seasoning with the rack of lamb, ensuring it's thoroughly coated. Heat some olive oil in an oven safe pan. Seal the lamb by holding each side in the oil long enough to develop color (careful not to burn your hands). Gordon Ramsay says, "it's simple mathematics, no color, equals no taste". Quite simple indeed! Make sure you brown that lamb. Transfer the pan with the lamb into the oven and bake for 7-8 minutes. Prepare the crust while the lamb is cooking. Preparing the Crust: Place all of the ingredients for the crust except the mustard into a blender and pulse several times until it looks nice and green. Make sure you don't over do it with the olive oil, just a splash. Pour the mixture into a deep dish (bowl or plate) and set aside. Putting it All Together: Remove the lamb from the oven and brush generously with mustard. Dip the lamb into the crust mixture coating it completely. Dip several times to ensure an even coating. Allow meat to rest for a bit. Place it back into the oven for 3-4 minutes when you're ready to serve. NOTES: Gordon serves the lamb with potatoes boulangère and courgettes provençal, but you can serve with anything you find fitting. Gordon Ramsay made this tasty looking rack of lamb on the first episode of the first season of The F Word. Like many of Gordon's recipes, the primary herb ingredients are rosemary, thyme and garlic. This is sure to be a scrumptious meal for fans of Chef Ramsay's cooking.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Lamb Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 full rack of lamb (about 1 1/4 pounds), frenched
2 teaspoons olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup fine fresh breadcrumbs
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 16

50g fresh white breadcrumb or white bread, torn into small pieces
2 tbsp roughly chopped parsley
2 tbsp thyme leaf
2 tbsp rosemary leaves, picked from sprigs
zest 1 lemon
25g grated parmesan
2 tbsp olive oil , plus extra for drizzling
2 x 8-bone racks of lamb , well trimmed (see 'Try', below)
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
250g spinach leaves
400g can butter bean , drained and rinsed
1 garlic clove , chopped
6 anchovy fillets
large rosemary sprig, leaves chopped
juice ½ lemon
8 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil , the best quality you can afford

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the breadcrumbs, herbs, zest and Parmesan into a food processor with 1 tbsp of the oil and some seasoning. Blitz until everything is finely chopped.
  • Heat the remaining oil in an ovenproof frying pan. Season the lamb, then brown it well on all sides and turn off the heat. Turn the racks so that they are fat-side up, and brush liberally with the mustard (Step 1, above). Pack over the herb crust (Step 2), drizzle with a bit more oil, and roast for 25 mins until the crust is golden and the lamb is cooked - this will produce lamb that is pink in the middle but cooked all the way through. If you like your lamb rarer, roast for only 20 mins; if you like it more done, give it 5 mins more. Put the lamb on a board to rest.
  • While the lamb is cooking, blitz the beans with the garlic, anchovies, rosemary, lemon juice, some seasoning and 7 tbsp olive oil (or enough to make it a smooth purée. Tip into a saucepan to gently heat.
  • Wilt the spinach in the remaining olive oil in another frying pan. Once the lamb has rested, carefully carve it into chops (Step 3), trying to keep the crust intact. Divide the warm bean purée between 4 plates, add a small mound of spinach, then arrange 3 lamb chops on top of each portion. Sprinkle with stray crumbs and drizzle with a little olive oil.

TANGY HERB-CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB

DH and I found this to be an easy, tasty way to prepare rack of lamb. It is from Williams-Sonoma Kitchen. Prep time includes marinating time. I believe DH and I had to cook longer than 15 mins for medium-rare. We skipped the lemon wedges as it was just the two of us and we weren't concerned about presentation.

HERB-CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB



Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb image

Rack of lamb, beautifully coated with a flavourful herb crust and cooked to perfection. Adapted from a video recipe by Chef Gordon Ramsey (which you can find on YouTube), which didn't list amounts, and had incorrect cooking times.

Provided by Barb_G

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 45m

Yield 12-14 chops, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 racks of lamb
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil (for browning)
4 slices white bread
1 ounce fresh parsley (stalks included)
2 sprigs fresh rosemary (leaves only)
4 sprigs thyme (leaves only)
1 ounce parmesan cheese, grated
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200 degrees Celsius Select a skillet that can go in the oven as well as on the cooker.
  • Cut each rack into 3-4 bones each (approximately one serving). Score the fat on the lamb (don't cut all the way to the meat), then season on all sides with salt and pepper.
  • On the cooker, heat the skillet to very hot, add olive oil. When it is hot, place the lamb in skillet and sear on all sides of meat to give it a nice dark colour (you will have to hold it in place to get all angles).
  • Once browned, place the racks skin-side-down in the skillet, and into the oven for 12 minutes.
  • Cut crusts off bread, place bread, herbs and parmesan into food processor and blitz until you have a very fine crumb (it will be green). Add the olive oil and continue blitzing for a few more seconds. It will still look like dry crumbs, but when you pinch it, it should stick together well. Pour onto a plate.
  • When lamb has been in for 12 minutes, remove from oven and brush all sides with dijon mustard. Then press each rack into the crumb mixture, coating on all sides and pressing it to get an nice even coating.
  • Place the racks (this time skin-side-up) in a baking dish. Sprinkle any leftover crumb mixture into the dish. Place back into the oven for another 8-10 minutes (longer if you want well-done), until crust is slightly browned.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb: Opt for racks of lamb that have a good amount of marbling, as this will ensure juiciness and flavor.
  • Prepare the herb crust in advance: This will allow the flavors to meld and intensify. You can make the crust up to a day ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.
  • Sear the lamb at high heat: This will create a nice crust and help to seal in the juices. Be sure to sear the lamb for only a few minutes per side, or it will overcook.
  • Roast the lamb at a low heat: This will allow the lamb to cook evenly and gently, resulting in a tender and succulent dish.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper doneness: The ideal internal temperature for medium-rare lamb is 135°F (57°C). If you prefer your lamb more cooked, you can roast it to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium or 155°F (68°C) for medium-well.
  • Let the lamb rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Herb-crusted rack of lamb is a stunning and delicious dish that is perfect for special occasions. With its tender meat, flavorful herb crust, and elegant presentation, this dish is sure to impress your guests.
