1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Lamb

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup grainy mustard
1 medium lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
3 cloves garlic, grated
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (8 bone) rack of lamb, exterior fat trimmed

Steps:

  • Mix olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.
  • Place the whole rack of lamb into a large zip-top bag and pour mustard mixture all over it. Massage the sauce into the meat until fully coated. Place in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or up to 6 hours.
  • Clean an outdoor grill and preheat for high heat. Lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove lamb from the refrigerator and discard marinade. Wrap exposed bones in a layer of aluminum foil to prevent them from burning and flaking.
  • Place lamb on the preheated grill over direct heat. Sear the surface briefly, just until a dark brown crust starts to form, about 3 minutes; be careful it doesn't burn. Flip and sear the other side.
  • Move onto indirect heat and close the grill. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 120 degrees F (58 degrees C) for medium rare, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Transfer lamb to a serving dish and cover with foil for 5 minutes. Remove all foil and cut into chops to serve.

PANKO-CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB



Panko-Crusted Rack of Lamb image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ounces creamy goat cheese, such as Montrachet
1 1/4 cups panko (Japanese bread flakes)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves
Fleur de sel or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Good olive oil
2 racks of lamb (1 1/2 pounds each), trimmed and frenched
3 tablespoons good Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
  • In a medium bowl, crumble the goat cheese with a fork. Add the panko, garlic, rosemary, thyme, 1 teaspoon fleur de sel, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil and stir to moisten the crumbs. Set aside for a few minutes or cover and refrigerate.
  • Remove the racks of lamb from the refrigerator 30 minutes before you plan to cook them. Place the lamb, fat side up, on the prepared pan. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons fleur de sel and 1 teaspoon pepper. Roast for 12 minutes exactly. Remove from the oven and, working quickly, use a knife to spread the mustard on the top of the lamb. Spread the crumb mixture evenly on the mustard, pressing gently to help the mixture adhere. Return the lamb to the oven right away and continue roasting for another 12 to 18 minutes (depending on the size of the lamb), until the crumbs are golden brown and the meat is 120 degrees F for rare or 125 degrees F for medium rare. (Insert an instant-read thermometer horizontally through the meat.)
  • Cover loosely with aluminum foil and allow the lamb to rest for 8 minutes. Cut the racks into single or double chops and serve hot.

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.

PARMESAN-CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB



Parmesan-Crusted Rack of Lamb image

Impressive in size, color and flavor, this take on an old Escoffier recipe brings salt-crunchiness to the exterior of sweet, roasted lamb. Served with Macaroni Milanaise, it makes for a show-off, dinner-party meal of little compare. (Tell no one how easy it is to pull off.)

Provided by Sam Sifton

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 rack of lamb, approximately 1¼ pounds, frenched
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ cup fresh bread crumbs
¼ cup grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450. Put a large frying pan over high heat until very hot. Rub lamb with 1 tablespoon of the oil, season aggressively with salt and pepper and then sear the meat in the pan until it is golden brown all over, approximately 4 minutes a side. Place on a rimmed baking sheet, and let rest for 20 or 30 minutes, until cool.
  • In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, cheese and parsley. Rub the cooled-off lamb with the remaining olive oil, then pat the seasoned bread crumbs all over the meat in an even layer.
  • Put the lamb back on the baking sheet, and roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 120 degrees, approximately 20 to 30 minutes. (Tent the lamb with foil if the crust threatens to get too dark at the end.) Remove the lamb from the oven, and allow to stand, covered loosely in foil, for 10 minutes or so. (The internal temperature will rise to 125 degrees, or medium-rare, while the lamb sits.) Carve into chops, and serve on a warmed platter.

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
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

  • Coat the rack of lamb with the mustard crust: Press the mustard crust onto the rack of lamb, making sure to cover all sides.
  • Cook the rack of lamb: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the rack of lamb in a roasting pan and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
