Parsleyed Rack Of Lamb Carre Dagneau Persille Food

CARRE D'AGNEAU PERSILLE (PARSLEYED RACK OF LAMB)

Steps:

• Have the butcher hack or saw off the chine bone (the flat, continuous bone at the top of the ribs), leaving the meat exposed.
• Preheat the broiler to high. If the oven is heated separately, preheat it also to 500 degrees.
• Using the fingers and a sharp knife, pull and slice off the top thick layer of fat from the rack of lamb. When ready, the loins and ribs should be almost clean of fat. Hack off the ends of the ribs, leaving about one and one-half inches of the ribs intact and extending from the loin meat. Season with salt and pepper.
• Rub with butter a baking dish large enough to hold the rack of lamb. Place the rack, meat side down, in the dish and dot the ribs with one tablespoon of the butter.
• Meanwhile, combine the bread crumbs, parsley, garlic, shallots and olive oil in a bowl.
• Place the rack under the broiler and cook about two or three minutes. Turn and cook about two or three minutes.
• Sprinkle the meaty side of the ribs with the bread-crumb mixture. Melt the remaining one tablespoon of butter and pour it over the ribs. Place in the oven and bake eight to 10 minutes, depending on the degree of doneness desired. To serve, slice and cut between the ribs. Serve with grilled tomato (see recipe).

Steps:

• Ask the butcher to cut the rack so that you can carve right through the chops without having to struggle with the bones. Trim it and wrap the bone ends of the chops with foil. Blend the garlic, the bread crumbs, and parsley. Rub the roast well with butter and freshly ground black pepper.
• Place on a rack in a roasting pan, and roast in a 375°F. oven, basting every 10 minutes. After about 20 minutes, test for internal temperature. If it is near 130°F. - 135°F., remove from the oven. Blend the degreased pan juices with the crumb mixture, salt the roast and spread an even film of the crumb mixture over it. Dot with butter, and return to the oven until the mixture has browned nicely and the rack is done.
• Serve with sautéed potatoes and broccoli au buerre noir. Drink a light red Bordeaux.
