RACK OF LAMB PROVENCALE WITH GARLIC CONFIT
Yet another Lamb Recipe from my Toolbelt. LCBO, featured the Flavours of France and share with you. Succulent rack of lamb, heady with the fragrance of garlic and herbs. The garlic loses all its strong aromas and becomes a mellow vegetable when it is cooked. Its flavour beautifully complements the lamb. As an ideal match for the rich savour of lamb, herbs and garlic, Wine Tidings magazine chooses these robust full bodied reds from Southern France. - Fortant de France Cabernet Sauvignon. - Rigal Cahors. - Chateau de Gourgazaud. - Rasteau Cote du Rhone Villages (my third choice). - Calvet Reserve Bordeaux. - Guigal Cotes du Rhone (my second choice). - Jaboulet Crozes Hermitage. - Chateau Montlabert. - Mommessin Chateauneuf-du-Pape (my first choice).

Tips and Conclusion
The following tips can help you make the best rack of lamb Provencale with garlic confit:
- Choose the right lamb. Look for a rack of lamb that is well-marbled and has a nice layer of fat. This will help the lamb stay moist during cooking.
- Prepare the lamb properly. Before cooking, trim off any excess fat from the lamb. You can also score the lamb, which will help it cook more evenly.
- Make the garlic confit ahead of time. Garlic confit is a great way to add flavor to the lamb. It can be made up to a week in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- Cook the lamb properly. The lamb should be cooked to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare. If you prefer your lamb more cooked, you can cook it to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
- Let the lamb rest before serving. After cooking, let the lamb rest for 10 minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the lamb more tender.
Conclusion:
Rack of lamb Provencale with garlic confit is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The lamb is cooked to perfection and the garlic confit adds a delicious flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
