Rack Of Lamb With Lemon Rosemary Baste Food

RACK OF LAMB WITH ROSEMARY GARLIC MARINADE (OVEN ROASTED)

Steps:

• Marinate lamb: Mix marinade ingredients in a ziplock bag (Note 2). Place lamb in bag, massage to coat, then seal and marinate for at least 24 hours and up to 48 hours.
• Remove lamb from fridge 1 hour prior to cooking, to ensure even cooking.
• Wrap bones in foil (optional): Wrap each bone with a small piece of foil. This keeps the bones white and looks prettier.
• Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F (180°C fan).
• Sear: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a cast iron skillet (or other oven-proof, heavy-based skillet) over high heat. Sear one lamb rack on all sides until golden brown, including the ends. Remove and repeat with other lamb rack.
• Roast: Place both racks in the skillet and roast for 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 57°C/135°F (for medium-rare). Remove pan from oven.
• Baste: Add butter, smashed garlic and rosemary to pan. The residual heat of the pan will melt the butter. Spoon the butter over the lamb continuously for 30 seconds.
• Rest: Remove lamb from skillet and place on a rack set over a tray. Pour butter remaining in the skillet over lamb. Cover loosely with foil and rest for 5 minutes.
• Carve and serve! Cut lamb into individual cutlets or several cutlets per slice. Serve with Salsa Verde!
• Sides: Pictured in post with a Spring Salad and individual Mini Potato Gratin Stacks.

• Preheat the oven to fan 200C/ conventional 220C/gas 7. Season the lamb generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large, heavy frying pan over a moderately high heat and brown two of the racks well on the meaty sides for about 1-2 minutes, then turn and brown the other sides for a further 1 minute. Finally, brown the ends briefly so that all of the exposed meat is seared. Remove and repeat with the remaining two racks.
• Put racks in a large roasting tin, standing them in pairs with their bones interlinked. Roast for about 8 minutes for very pink meat, 17-20 minutes for medium and 25 minutes for well-done. To test the lamb stick a skewer or the point of a knife into the centre of the meat, leave it for 30 seconds and then test it against the inside of your wrist, it should feel hot. If it still feels cold then keep cooking the lamb as it will still be raw in the centre. Test again after 5 mins.
• Transfer the lamb to a warmed plate, cover loosely with foil, and allow to rest in a warm place for about 5 minutes before carving (if you have to wait longer than this, you may want to return the lamb to the oven for a minute or so before serving, to bring back up to temperature). Carve into cutlets and serve on warmed plates with a spoonful of the chickpea stew.

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.
