BARB'S LEGENDARY RACK OF LAMB
Ingredients:
- 1 CO Rack of Lamb (Link below)
- 2 large garlic cloves
- ½ t salt
- 2 tsp crushed rosemary
- ¼ c olive oil
- 2 t mustard
- 2 t lemon juice
- ½ c bread crumbs
How to prepare:
- PRE HEAT OVEN 500F
- Put garlic through a press and mash to a paste with salt using a fork (this is crucial, so make sure you take your time 2-3 min minimum)
- Whisk in the mustard, rosemary, lemon juice until well-mixed. Then slowly whisk in your oil to achieve a mayonnaise-like cream
- Score the fat on the lamb with an X and paint the mustard mixture over the rack, taking care to make sure the mixture ends up in all the score marks. Wrap bones in foil to prevent burning.
- Roast at 500F for 10 minutes.
- Reduce to 400F and spread ½ c crumbs over the top of the mustard mixture. Drizzle with 2 t melted butter and return to the oven for 20 minutes or until cooked to your liking.
- Serve with broccoli like a boss and eventually learn how to actually plate food
Tips:
- Make sure to let the lamb rest before measuring the internal temperature. Mike’s Colorado rack of lamb took 40 minutes total (10 @ 500, 30 @ 400) to reach the perfect medium rare temperature (127.5 F in my opinion). These will keep cooking after you remove them from the oven.
- The fat cap on top will render down nicely, so try to save the drippings and use them for frying eggs.
- If you want to, add 1 tsp of soy sauce to the mustard mixture. My girlfriend has a gluten allergy, so I typically eschew soy.
