Rack of Lamb Recipe

Rack of lamb recipes are quite delicious and surprisingly easy to prepare.

You can get the lamb "frenched" at your butcher or meat counter at your grocery store.

Frenching simply means that the fat and tissue between each of the bones has been removed and the bones have been cleaned.

It makes for a nicer presentation of the meat, but is not necessary to make the recipe work.

Rack of lamb cooking is pretty simple. Just marinate the meat for a while to flavor it with fresh herbs and garlic, then just sear it and pop it in the oven for a short while.

2 lamb racks (about 8 to 9 ribs each)

Marinade:
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, crushed
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, crushed
freshly ground black pepper
salt

Mix all marinade ingredients together. Marinate lamb in marinade for several hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 450ºF.

Scrape the garlic and herbs from the meat. Sear lamb rack in an ovenproof skillet for 2 to 3 minutes over a fairly high heat. Transfer to the oven and roast for 12 to 18 minutes, depending on desired doneness.

This is a sturdy roaster with a clean modern look. It can really go straight to the table if you wish. Gourmet Distinctions Roaster with Rack
