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.

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Grated zest of 2 lemons
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 cup kosher salt
Pinch of sugar
2 8-bone racks of lamb, chine bone removed, frenched
1/4 cup canola oil

Steps:

  • Put the baking sheet with both racks on it in the oven and roast until the meat registers 120 degrees F to 125 degrees F in the center, 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before cutting into chops and serving.

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.

For lamb
3/4 cups extra-virgin olive oil
24 cloves (about 2 heads) garlic, peeled and smashed with back of knife
2 cups loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped (from 1 bunch)
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh thyme leaves, chopped (from 1/2 bunch)
4 (1- to 1 1/2-pound) racks of lamb, trimmed of all but a 1/4-inch layer fat and frenched (each rack should have 8 ribs)*
2 tablespoons sea salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
For succotash and spinach
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup raw corn kernels (cut from 2 cobs)
1 celery stalk, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves (from 8 sprigs)
1/2 cup fresh black-eyed peas**
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup vegetable broth
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 medium lemon)
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoon olive oil
8 cups loosely packed baby spinach leaves (about 7 ounces)
*1- to 1 1/2-pound racks of lamb are sometimes called "baby racks of lamb." Ask your butcher to trim the fat from the meat and between the bones.
**If fresh black-eyed peas are unavailable, canned are a good substitute. You will need 1/4 of a 15 1/2-ounce can.
Special Equipment
One large (2-gallon) heavy-duty sealable plastic bag

Steps:

  • Prep potatoes:
  • Bring medium saucepan water to boil. Reduce heat to moderate, add potato chunks and simmer, uncovered, until tender but not falling apart, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain potatoes and let cool to room temperature.
  • Marinate lamb:
  • In large sealable plastic bag, combine olive oil, garlic, parsley, and thyme. Add racks of lamb and seal bag, pressing out air. Turn bag to coat lamb, then transfer to shallow baking pan and refrigerate, turning bag over occasionally, at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Thirty minutes before roasting, remove lamb from refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature.
  • Remove lamb from marinade, discarding marinade. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and transfer to rack set in large roasting pan. Roast until thermometer inserted 2 inches into thickest part of lamb (do not touch bone) registers 130°F (for medium rare), approximately 25 minutes. Transfer to carving board, tent with foil, and let stand 10 minutes.
  • While lamb is roasting, make succotash and spinach:
  • In medium skillet over moderately high heat, heat canola oil until hot but not smoking. Add potatoes and sauté just until starting to brown, about 8 minutes. Add corn and celery and sauté until aromatic, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and parsley and sauté 1 minute. Add black-eyed peas and wine and bring to simmer, then reduce heat to moderate and continue simmering, uncovered, until liquid is reduced by half and mixture is slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add broth, raise heat to moderately high, and bring to boil. Reduce heat to moderate and simmer, uncovered, until liquid is reduced by half and mixture is slightly thickened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter, 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Keep warm.
  • In large, wide skillet over moderate heat, heat olive oil until hot but not smoking. Add spinach all at once and sauté, stirring occasionally, until just wilted, about 4 minutes. Transfer to medium bowl, sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice, and toss to coat. Keep warm.
  • Plate and serve:
  • Divide succotash evenly between 8 bowls and top each portion with small mound of spinach. Carve lamb into chops and place 4 chops on each serving. Serve immediately.

ROAST PEPPERED RACK OF LAMB



Roast Peppered Rack of Lamb image

Spring lamb is a delight of the season. Ask your butcher for a nine-rib rack, if possible, and have it "French cut" (meat between the rib bones removed) and fully trimmed.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Lamb Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons black peppercorns
4 or 5 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tablespoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
9-rib rack of lamb, French cut and trimmed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, for sauteing

Steps:

  • Coarsely grind the black pepper in a minichopper. Add the garlic, salt, and olive oil, and puree.
  • Rub the lamb, front and back, with the black-pepper paste. Let sit at room temperature for at least 45 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 500 degrees.
  • In a heavy saute pan slightly bigger than the rack of lamb, heat the vegetable oil over high heat until smoking. Saute the lamb, back side of the ribs facing up, until almost blackened. Turn gently, being careful not to break the pepper paste, and saute on back side for 30 seconds. Put the pan in the oven, and roast for 8 (rare) to 12 (medium well) minutes. When done, remove from the pan and let rest in a warm place for at least 5 minutes.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of lamb: A rack of lamb is a great choice for roasting because it is tender and flavorful. Look for a rack that is evenly marbled with fat and has a nice pink color.
  • Prepare the lamb properly: Before roasting, remove the chine bone from the rack of lamb. This will help the lamb cook evenly. You can also score the fat on the lamb to help it render during cooking.
  • Season the lamb generously: Use a variety of herbs and spices to season the lamb. This will help to create a flavorful crust. Some good options include rosemary, thyme, garlic, and salt and pepper.
  • Roast the lamb at a high temperature: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the lamb and keep it juicy on the inside. The ideal temperature for roasting lamb is 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the lamb rest before carving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender. Allow the lamb to rest for at least 10 minutes before carving.

Conclusion:

Roasted rack of lamb is a classic dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With its tender meat, flavorful crust, and delicious accompaniments, this dish is sure to impress your guests. So next time you are looking for a special meal to cook, give roasted rack of lamb a try. You won't be disappointed.
