Grilled Rack Of Lamb With Rosemary Lemon Sauce Food

LEMON-ROSEMARY ROAST LEG OF LAMB

Steps:

• Trim the excess fat from the lamb, leaving a 1/4- to 1/2-inch layer of fat. Using a sharp knife, make small slits, about 1/2 inch deep and 2 to 3 inches apart, all over the surface of the lamb. Fill each slit with a slice of garlic.
• Grate the lemon zest into a small bowl (reserve the lemon). Add the rosemary, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper. Rub the mixture all over the lamb. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Remove the lamb from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature about 1 hour before roasting. Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Set a rack in a roasting pan and set the lamb fat-side up on the rack. Cut the reserved lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the lamb; drizzle with the olive oil and rub all over to coat. Add the lemon halves to the pan. Roast until the fat on the lamb starts to sizzle, about 20 minutes.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 350˚ F and continue roasting the lamb until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 130˚ F for medium rare to medium, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes more. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 20 minutes before carving.

GRILLED RACK OF LAMB

Steps:

• Let the meat sit out at room temperature for about 30 minutes prior to cooking.
• Combine the garlic, mustard, olive oil, rosemary, lemon juice and lemon zest in a small bowl.
• Sprinkle the lamb evenly with salt and pepper. Coat the meat with most of the mustard sauce and reserve some for basting during grilling.
• Preheat the grill to a medium setting.
• Place racks of lamb on the grill but not over direct heat. Allow to cook for 7-10 minutes per side and turn once during cooking. Baste with reserved mustard sauce. [N0te #1: if you want to develop a nice crust and grill marks, resist the urge to keep flipping the meat over constantly during cooking. I know. Just flip once and step away. You can do it :)]
• Remove the meat and allow to rest for 10 minutes prior to slicing. [Note #2: If you want tasty lamb, you've got to let it sit for 5-10 minutes before you hack into it or else the juices end up on your plate underneath a pile of dry meat. Go gnaw on a handful of macadamia nuts if you are too hungry to wait.]
• For medium-rare, I grilled the lamb about 7 minutes per side. Your grill may vary.

GRILLED RACK OF LAMB WITH ROSEMARY-LEMON SAUCE

Steps:

• Peel the thick layer of fat off the back of the racks of lamb. Trim all other fat with a knife and discard. Using a heavy cleaver, chop off the rib bones a few inches from the base. This allows the meat to lay on the grill more easily; the ribs should be grilled separately and served as well.
• Place all the meat in a roasting pan. Season generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with rosemary and rub with olive oil. Let sit for several hours.
• Place the base of the racks over hot coals and grill for about 10 minutes, covered, turning occasionally. Add the rib sections during the last 5 minutes.
• When the meat is cooked place all pieces in an ovenproof roasting pan and let rest on the side of the grill where heat is least intense. Add the butter and shallots to the pan. When the butter has melted, add the lemon juice and the parsley. Let all this mix with the meat drippings for about 5 minutes.
• Carve the rack into serving portions in the roasting pan to catch the juices. Place the meat and some of the ribs on each serving plate. Stir the sauce well over the heat and spoon some over the meat. Serve immediately.

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH GARLIC, OLIVE OIL, FRESH THYME, GRILLED LEMONS

Steps:

• Whisk together oil, garlic and thyme in a shallow large baking dish. Add the chops and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for 1 to 1 1/2 hours in the refrigerator.
• Remove the chops from the refrigerator 20 minutes before grilling. Heat grill to high and grill the chops for 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium doneness. Remove and rest for 2 minutes. Slice into individual chops.
• Brush the cut side of the lemons with the oil and grill, cut side down on high for 1 minute. Turn lemons 45 degrees to make hatch marks and remove.
• Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the platter of chops. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Garnish with fresh sprigs of oregano and dill. Serve the remaining grilled lemons on the platter with the chops.

Rub the entire marinade over top and bottom of lamb, cover and allow to marinade minimum of 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Preheat one side of grill to high heat with lid closed, leaving other side off. Once heated, place the marinated lamb on un-lit side of grill and cook for 20 minutes with indirect heat and lid closed, or until the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees.
• Transfer lamb to the lit, high heat side, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side with the lid open, until temperature reaches 135 degrees for medium-rare. Remove from grill and let rest for 5-7 minutes. While lamb is resting make board sauce by combining fresh herbs and olive oil and set aside.
• Once lamb has rested, carve the meat by cutting between each rib bone. Drizzle board sauce on top of lamb and serve immediately.

GRILLED RACK OF LAMB

Steps:

• Make brine using the brining ingredients.
• Add lamb and make sure it is completely covered.
• Let sit at least 8 hours in th refrigerator or if using Food Saver marinate 2 hours.Meanwhile make a mixure of the second part of Rosemary, Thyme, garlic and oil.
• 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.
• Cook until temperature reaches 65° for medium rare, approx 20 minutes.
• Place on plate; cover with foil and towel and let sit 10 minutes.
• Very nice served with Knorr demi-glace sauce, mint jelly if that is your choice. Enjoy!
