Categories     meat

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 rack of lamb with 8 chops, about 1 1/2 - 2 lbs
salt and pepper
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon minced fresh mint
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
freshly cracked black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Trim the majority of the fat cap off the top of the lamb, then season on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat, then sear the lamb until browned on all sides.
  • In the meantime, combine breadcrumbs, lemon zest, mint, parsley, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Drizzle olive oil over top, then mix until breadcrumbs are thoroughly coated.
  • Remove the lamb from the pan and set on a baking sheet. Spread the Dijon mustard over the top in an even coating, then press the breadcrumb mixture on top. Gently pat the breadcrumbs down so that they stick and form a crust.
  • Roast on the top rack of the oven until the lamb reaches an internal temperature of 130 degrees for medium-rare. If the breadcrumbs are not browned by the time the meat is done, you can broil it until golden. Be sure to watch closely, as it can easily burn.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes. Carefully cut into double chops - you will lose some breadcrumbs in the process but that's okay. Arrange on plates and top with any remaining breadcrumbs. Serve with mashed potatoes, vegetables, or other appropriate sides.

ROSEMARY RACK OF LAMB WITH CRUSHED POTATOES



Rosemary Rack of Lamb With Crushed Potatoes image

Tender rack of lamb, though expensive, makes an elegant roast for a special-occasion dinner, and it's quite easy to prepare. A brief marinade of pounded garlic and anchovy, Dijon mustard and olive oil heightens the flavor. For a simple accompaniment, roast small crushed potatoes in the same pan. Each eight-bone rack may be sliced into four thick chops, or eight thin chops, if you prefer.

Categories     dinner, quick, meat, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lamb racks, about 1 1/2 pounds each, preferably frenched (see Note)
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 anchovy fillets, minced
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 to 2 pounds small, round potatoes, scrubbed and left whole
2 tablespoons roughly chopped rosemary
2 tablespoons roughly chopped parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Season lamb generously with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix together Dijon mustard, garlic and anchovy (or pound together in a mortar for a smoother texture). Stir in 3 tablespoons olive oil. Smear lamb all over with marinade and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, boil potatoes until the tip of a paring knife meets no resistance, 10 to 15 minutes depending on size. When potatoes are done, drain, transfer to a roasting pan large enough to hold them in a single layer, and set aside to cool.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. With palms or the back of a wooden spoon, crush potatoes gently to crack open and slightly flatten. Sprinkle with salt, drizzle with about 2 tablespoons olive oil, and turn to lightly coat.
  • Lay lamb racks on top of potatoes, with bones curving downward. Scatter rosemary over meat and potatoes. Roast, uncovered, until a meat thermometer registers 125 degrees (for medium-rare), about 20 minutes. (Cook to 135 degrees for medium.)
  • Remove lamb to a cutting board and let rest, tented with foil. Return potatoes to oven and leave to roast 10 to 15 minutes more, until nicely crisped.
  • Use a large chef's knife to slice the racks by cutting between the bones. (One rack will yield 4 thick chops or 8 thin ones). Transfer chops and potatoes to a warm platter, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

MUSTARD CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB



Mustard Crusted Rack of Lamb image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h25m

Yield 1 rack of lamb, serving 2

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 rack of lamb, trimmed (about 1 1/2 pounds)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan
Fig Chutney, recipe follows, optional
2 1/2 cups red wine vinegar
1/2 pound light brown sugar
1 onion, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds
1/4 lemon, zested
1/2 cinnamon stick
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/4 pounds firm, slightly underripe fresh figs, rinsed, stems removed and halved

Steps:

  • Season rack of lamb well on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat a medium skillet over high heat and, when hot, add the oil. When the oil is almost smoking, add the rack of lamb and brown well on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer the lamb to a plate and set aside to cool slightly before proceeding.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Using the back of a spoon, spread the mustard evenly over all sides of the lamb. Spread the minced garlic over the lamb in the same manner.
  • In a small mixing bowl combine the breadcrumbs and grated cheese and toss to thoroughly combine. Using your hands or a spoon, spread the breadcrumb mixture evenly all over the lamb, pressing so that the crumbs adhere to the meat.
  • Place the rack of lamb on a baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes for medium-rare. Allow lamb to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before carving into chops to serve.
  • Serve with some of the Fig Chutney, if desired.
  • In a large saucepan combine the vinegar, sugar, onion, ginger, mustard seeds, lemon zest, cinnamon stick, salt, allspice, and cloves and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until mixture is thickened and reduced by 2/3, forming a thick syrup. Add the figs and cook gently until the figs are very soft and beginning to fall apart and most of the liquid they've given off has evaporated, about 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the chutney to a non-reactive container and allow to come to room temperature before serving. The chutney may be made up to 3 weeks in advance and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. (Alternately, hot chutney may be ladled into hot sterilized canning jars and processed in a hot-water bath according to manufacturer's directions.)

MARINATED RACK OF LAMB WITH MUSTARD AND VINEGAR



Marinated Rack of Lamb with Mustard and Vinegar image

Categories     Garlic     Mustard     Roast     Vinegar     Rack of Lamb     Winter     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup raspberry or red wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup chopped garlic
2 tablespoons golden brown sugar
2 1 1/3- to 1 1/2-pound racks of lamb

Steps:

  • Whisk mustard, vinegar, oil, garlic and brown sugar in medium bowl to blend. Place lamb in 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Spread marinade over each lamb rack. Cover dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate lamb overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Transfer lamb to rimmed baking sheet; reserve marinade. Sprinkle lamb with salt and pepper. Roast lamb to desired doneness, basting occasionally with reserved marinade, about 25 minutes for medium-rare. Cut lamb between bones into chops. Divide chops among 4 plates and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a high-quality rack of lamb. Look for one that is evenly marbled and has a nice pink color.
  • Allow the lamb to come to room temperature before cooking. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Season the lamb generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or rosemary.
  • Sear the lamb in a hot skillet until it is browned on all sides. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from drying out.
  • Transfer the lamb to a roasting pan and cook it in a preheated oven until it reaches the desired doneness. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the lamb and the desired doneness.
  • Allow the lamb to rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
  • Serve the lamb with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Rack of lamb is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can cook a rack of lamb that is sure to impress your guests.
