GRILLED RACK OF LAMB

Steps:

• Mix all the marinade ingredients in a large zip lock baggie and taste for flavor before adding the rack of lamb. Rub the marinade over the meat and seal the baggie. It will fit! Marinate for at least one hour on the counter or overnight in the fridge.
• Allow the lamb to come to room temperature before grilling - about one hour.
• Wrap foil around each bone end so it won't scorch during the grilling.
• Preheat the grill and cook for 4 minutes per side on high to
• Once the lamb is cooked, remove from the heat and place on a cutting board, cover with foil for 15 minutes. This finishes the cooking and relaxes the meat. I used to think this was a waste of time, but trust me, it really does make any meat more tender and juicy.
• Discard the foil, and slice the lamb between each rib. We thought it a little underdone to our taste, so we just grilled the individual chops for a minute or two per side, which gave it a great sear and pretty grill marks, so I suggest doing this step regardless.

GRILLED RACK OF LAMB

• Remove the racks of lamb from the brine solution and pat dry with a tea towel. Smear with herb mixture.
• Brush grill with canola oil. Light the burners under the grill plate and allow them to get quite.hot. Place the racks of lamb on the hot barbecue grill and brown each side. Once the racks of lamb have been browned, slide the rack to the other side of the barbecue and adjust the flames so they are at a medium Low heat.
• Throw the rosemary sticks from the brine mixture onto one of the burners and close the barbecue lid. The idea is that the rosemary sticks will smoke and burn providing a smoky rosemary flavoured atmosphere and the racks of lamb will bake inside the oven cavity of the barbecue.
