Rosemary Rack of Lamb with Roasted Potatoes and Carrots for Two image

Inspired by "Valentine Dinner for Two" from the February 1977 issue of Glamour magazine, this elegant and romantic dinner features miso butter basted hassleback potatoes and honey butter-glazed carrots. Though this recipe serves two, it can easily be increased to serve more.

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (1-1 1/2-pound) rack of lamb, fat cap scored
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 teaspoons chopped rosemary
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 tablespoon white miso paste
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, divided
2 medium yukon gold potatoes (about 1 pound)
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 pound medium carrots, peeled
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Rub lamb with garlic, rosemary, pepper, and 1/2 tsp. salt.
  • Combine miso, paprika, 4 Tbsp. butter, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Peel potatoes. Working with one potato at a time, slice a thin sliver off one long side to make a flat bottom. Trim ends off, then slice vertically every 1/16", cutting down to 1/4" from the bottom. (To make sure you do not cut all the way through the potato, line it with chopsticks on each side to stop your knife.) Brush potatoes with miso butter, fanning slices open to get butter between each slice. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and roast 15 minutes.
  • Remove baking sheet from oven and brush potatoes with more miso butter. Arrange lamb on baking sheet alongside potatoes and roast, brushing potatoes with miso butter halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the lamb registers 125°F for medium-rare, and the potatoes are fork-tender, 20-25 minutes. Transfer lamb to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes, and continue roasting the potatoes if needed until fork-tender.
  • Meanwhile, mix honey, coriander, and remaining 1 Tbsp. butter and 1/4 tsp. salt in a small bowl, then brush over carrots. Arrange carrots on a baking sheet and roast until lightly browned and fork-tender, 15-20 minutes.
  • Slice lamb between each rib. Brush potatoes with remaining miso butter, top carrots with parsley, and serve alongside lamb.

I'm allergic to lamb, so I made this dish with pork tenderloin instead. It was still delicious!

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I'm not sure why this recipe calls for so much rosemary. It was overpowering and took away from the flavor of the lamb.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my lamb turned out dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.
