Provided by Vered DeLeeuw

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 rack of lamb (Frenched (cut so that the rib bones are exposed), 1 1/2 lb, 8 ribs)
Olive oil spray
1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • An hour before you start roasting the lamb, line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray it with olive oil spray.
  • Place the rack of lamb on the prepared baking sheet, fat side up. Score the fat by making small shallow slits, 1 inch apart.
  • Liberally spray both sides of the lamb with olive oil and sprinkle it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, rosemary, and thyme. Allow the meat to rest on the counter for about an hour and come to room temperature.
  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Roast the meat in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part (and not touching the bone) reads 135 degrees F (medium-rare), about 25 minutes.
  • Remove the lamb from the oven. Transfer it to a cutting board. Cover with foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  • To cut the rack into individual ribs, turn it upside down, locate where the bones are, and carefully cut between them using a sharp chef's knife. Serve immediately.

ROAST RACK OF LAMB WITH ROSEMARY



Roast rack of lamb with rosemary image

Simple and impressive, this dish is perfect for a dinner party

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 racks of lamb (2 pairs of best ends), French trimmed
4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
a big stalk of rosemary, needles stripped off and roughly chopped
8 tbsp light olive oil

Steps:

  • Stand the racks of lamb in a china or glass baking dish, scatter the garlic and rosemary over the top, and drizzle with the olive oil. Leave to marinate for at least 4 hours (or overnight if you have the time), turning occasionally.
  • Preheat the oven to fan 200C/ conventional 220C/gas 7. Season the lamb generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large, heavy frying pan over a moderately high heat and brown two of the racks well on the meaty sides for about 1-2 minutes, then turn and brown the other sides for a further 1 minute. Finally, brown the ends briefly so that all of the exposed meat is seared. Remove and repeat with the remaining two racks.
  • Put racks in a large roasting tin, standing them in pairs with their bones interlinked. Roast for about 8 minutes for very pink meat, 17-20 minutes for medium and 25 minutes for well-done. To test the lamb stick a skewer or the point of a knife into the centre of the meat, leave it for 30 seconds and then test it against the inside of your wrist, it should feel hot. If it still feels cold then keep cooking the lamb as it will still be raw in the centre. Test again after 5 mins.
  • Transfer the lamb to a warmed plate, cover loosely with foil, and allow to rest in a warm place for about 5 minutes before carving (if you have to wait longer than this, you may want to return the lamb to the oven for a minute or so before serving, to bring back up to temperature). Carve into cutlets and serve on warmed plates with a spoonful of the chickpea stew.

ROAST RACK OF LAMB



Roast Rack of Lamb image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Lamb Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup lightly packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
3/4 cup fresh breadcrumbs (from 3 slices of bread, crusts removed)
1/2 cup lightly packed fresh mint leaves, plus whole sprigs for garnish
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
1 garlic clove
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 eight-rib frenched rack of lamb (1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds), chine bone removed (for easier carving)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Olive oil
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon plain Greek-style yogurt
Mint jelly, for serving (optional)

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.

CRISP-ROASTED RACK OF LAMB



Crisp-Roasted Rack Of Lamb image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 racks of lamb, each about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Strip most of the surface fat from the lamb. (Your butcher may already have done this.) Cut between the ribs, almost down to the meaty eye. Divide each rack in half down the middle, sprinkle with salt and pepper and place in a roasting pan.
  • Roast for 15 minutes, then insert a meat thermometer straight in from one end into the meatiest part. If it reads 125 degrees or more, remove the lamb immediately. If it reads 120 degrees or less, put the lamb back for about 5 minutes, no more. Remove and let sit for 5 minutes; this will give you medium- to medium-rare lamb on the outer ribs, medium rare-to-rare in the center. Cook a little longer for more doneness. Serve, separating the ribs, if desired, by cutting down straight through them.
