Move the lamb around in the back to make sure it's fully coated. Place the marinated lamb bag in a 9x13 dish and add to the fridge. The dish is there just in case the bag leaks. You don't want to clean marinade out of your fridge. Not a fun job - trust me! Let the lamb marinade for at least 8 hours. When you're ready to cook your lamb take it out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 1 hour. Get your grill up to medium heat and add on your lamb. For medium doneness you want to bring your lamb up to 130 degrees in the middle. This is the perfect time to have a meat thermometer handy. It's your best bet for truly knowing the doneness of the meat. Once your meat is cooked remove from the grill, add to platter, cover loosely with foil and let sit for at least 15 minutes. This helps keep the meat tender and juicy. Once your meat has rested slice it up and enjoy!

• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat. Remove lamb from refrigerator about 30 minutes before grilling to bring the meat to room temperature.
• To assemble the kabobs: fill skewers, alternating peppers, lamb, tomatoes, onions and mushrooms until all ingredients are used.
• Grill skewers, rotating to char lamb on all sides, until cooked to desired doneness, about 7 to 8 minutes for medium-rare.

HERB MARINATED GRILLED RACK OF LAMB

Steps:

• Make sure that the rack of lamb bones has been "Frenched cut".(This is to remove the excess fat and fascia away from the bone to give abetter appearance for serving) Remove any excess fat.
• In a large sealable baggie or bowl add the rack of lamb, za'atar seasoning, chopped garlic, parsley and olive oil. Mix well and rub the mix into the rack of lamb. (Do not add the salt until you are ready to put it on the grill as this can draw out the moisture in the meat and make it tougher)
• Marinate rack of lamb for 4 hours or up to overnight. In a pinch can marinate for 30 minutes, while the lamb is coming to room temperature before grilling. Remove the marinating rack of lamb from the refrigerator and place it at room temperature for 30 minutes. (This keeps the meat cooking evenly)Preheat the grill to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Clean and prepare the grill. Oil your grill grates lightly with a cloth. We did not wrap the ribs of the lamb in aluminum foil to prevent burning and we had no issues. If you want to do this, go for it. Salt and pepper your lamb rack well on both sides.
• GRILLING DIRECTIONS: Place your rack of lamb skin side down for 5 minutes over direct heat, allow to sear with the lid of the grill down. Turn the rack of lamb over on the other side and cook for the remaining time. For us, that was another 8 minutes. Make sure you take your rack of lamb off the grill about 2to 5 degrees BEFORE it comes to your desired temperature as it will raise another 5 degrees upon resting. However, it depends on how you want lamb cooked. We highly suggest not cooking your lamb any more than medium rare at the most for the best flavor and texture. Blue Bloody Rare - 125 degrees F (51 degrees C) Med Rare - 135 degrees F (57 degrees C) (our preferred cooking level)Medium - 145 degrees F (62 degrees C) Med Well - 155 degrees F (68 degrees C) Well Done - 165 degrees F (73 degrees C)
• After you take your rack of lamb off the grill, Tent lamb lightly with aluminum foil and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes before carving.
• Garnish with fresh parsley and herbs as desired before serving.
• OVEN DIRECTIONS: No Grill. No problem! Our suggestion is to prepare our Herb Marinated Rack of Lamb with the rub as stated in the recipe. Then take out your lamb out of the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes up to an hour before cooking in the oven to allow it to come to room temperature. This is so that it cooks evenly. Next, preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C). Cook lamb uncovered for 10 minutes. Then, reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (148 degrees c) for an additional 10 - 20 minutes. Start checking the internal temperature of your rack of lamb at the start of the 10 minute mark. If you like your rack of lamb medium rare like we do then take it out at 135 degrees F. Tent with a little foil and let rest.

GARLIC & HERB GRILLED LAMB CHOPS (VIDEO)

Steps:

• This recipe is great for scaling up for more servings! Increase the marinade ingredients for each additional rack. First, carefully portion the rack of lamb into single chops using a large, sharp knife. Turn the rack towards yourself to see the bones for easier portioning. Place the portioned chops into a casserole dish. Watch my video recipe to see how it's done.
• Drizzle a the olive oil over the lamb chops, then season generously with coarse salt and black pepper; I recommend using Maldon salt flakes or kosher salt. Season both sides of the lamb chops. Next, sprinkle the fresh herbs over the chops. Gently press the pressed garlic into the chops so it sticks better to the meat. Drizzle the vinegar and wine over the chops and turn them to ensure they are well coated. Marinate the chops for 30 minutes in the refrigerator, turning after 15 minutes to marinate the meat evenly.
• While the lamb chops are marinating, prepare your choice of dipping sauces and side dishes. Check out my recommendations above in my recipe post! Once the lamb is marinated, preheat an outdoor grill to 500F for 5 minutes, until the grill grates are extra hot. Reduce the flame to medium and add the lamb chops, spacing them 3 to 4 inches apart.
• Grill the chops for 2 to 3 minutes per side, more for thicker chops. Once both sides are grilled, transfer them to the top rack of the grill, or to the side. Finish cooking the lamb with indirect heat for another 2 to 3 minutes. These instructions are for medium-done chops. Grill for 1 minute less per side for medium-rare doneness. Ensure that the temperature reaches 145F. Remove the chops from the grill and let the meat rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• For the tzatziki sauce: gently peel the cucumber(s) and remove large seeds, if desired. Grate the cucumber(s) into a bowl lined with a cheesecloth; you'll need approximately 1 1/2 cups of grated cucumber. Season the cucumber lightly with salt and let it stand for 5 minutes to release water. Wring the cucumbers of excess water as much as possible. Place the grated cucumber into a large bowl with the greek yogurt, pressed garlic, chopped dill and mint. Add the olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. If desired, add also 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.

GRILLED MARINATED LAMB CUTLETS

Brush some of the mix over the cutlets on both sides and place on the grill tray - make sure it's about 5cm below the grill. Cook for 2-3 mins each side, brushing with additional yogurt mix when turning. The cutlets should be browned and just beginning to scorch. Serve with lemon wedges.
