RACK OF LAMB

Steps:

• Get your meat out of the fridge and up to room temperature before you cook it. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
• Drizzle the lamb racks with olive oil and sprinkle generously with sea salt and black pepper, patting the seasoning all over the meat.
• Sear in a hot frying pan on a high heat with a little extra oil and 1 knob of butter for 2 to 3 minutes, turning with tongs until golden all over, then remove the racks to a roasting tray and let them cool.
• Peel 2 cloves of garlic and place in a food processor with the pistachios and parsley (stalks and all). Tear in the bread, finely grate in half the nutmeg and blitz into a fine green crumb.
• Generously brush each lamb rack with mustard, then cover with the herby crumb, patting it all over the top and sides.
• Roast for 25 minutes, until the crust is crisp, to give you beautifully blushing lamb. Remove from the oven and leave the lamb to rest for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, trim just the stalk ends off the green beans and cook for 6 to 7 minutes in a pan of boiling salted water.
• Crush the remaining unpeeled clove of garlic through a garlic crusher into a jar and mix with 1 teaspoon of mustard, the vinegar, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and the lemon juice, then taste and season to perfection.
• Finely chop and add the tarragon leaves. Drain the beans and toss with the dressing. Carve up the lamb and serve with the dressed green beans and my potato al forno.

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

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

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.

FRENCHED RACK OF LAMB

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Wrap garlic head in foil.
• Roast garlic in the preheated oven until soft, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool enough to handle, 15 to 20 minutes. Slice in half; squeeze to remove the roasted garlic within.
• Combine 1 tablespoon roasted garlic with bread crumbs, parsley, and thyme. Reserve remaining roasted garlic for another use.
• Wrap the exposed bone sections of the rack individually in aluminum foil.
• Set the rack, bone-side down, ribs facing away, on a sheet of plastic wrap and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brush meat with mustard to create a thin layer. Spread bread crumb mixture over and press the crumbs into it using the plastic wrap. Set the lamb on a roasting rack. Discard the plastic wrap.
• Roast in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium doneness, or to desired doneness, 25 to 35 minutes. Let the lamb sit for 20 minutes in a warm location; carve into 4 two-bone chops. Season with salt.

Steps:

• Let lamb rest at room temperature 1 hour, covered with plastic wrap. Place parsley, breadcrumbs, mint leaves, lemon zest, garlic, olive oil, and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary; set aside.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Trim all but 1/4 inch fat from lamb, then pat dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium-high heat until hot, then add enough oil to just coat the bottom of the pan and heat until shimmering. Place lamb in pan fat side down, and sear until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove lamb from pan and let cool 10 minutes. Pour off excess fat from pan.
• Use an offset spatula to spread yogurt evenly over browned (fat) side only, then top with breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently with your fingertips to adhere. Return to pan, coated side up. Roast until an instant-read thermometer registers 125 degrees (for medium-rare) when inserted through the eye (or midpoint of one side) of the rack, 18 to 24 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes to allow temperature to rise and juices to redistribute.
• Slice rack between bones and serve, with mint jelly if desired, and garnished with mint sprigs.
