Best Grilled Rack Of Lamb With Onion Mint Jam Recipes

GRILLED RACK OF LAMB WITH GARLIC HERB MARINADE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients for the garlic herb marinade in a zip top bag and mix to combine.
• Preheat your grill for two-zone cooking. Aim for 450 degrees F for your direct side of heat.
• Place your rack of lamb in the marinade and massage to coat. Place in your refrigerator and allow to marinate for at least 4 hours or up to 8 hours.
• Remove rack of lamb from the marinade and shake off any excess marinade. Wrap the bones in heavy duty aluminum foil to prevent them from burning.
• Place your lamb on indirect side of heat for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the lamb reaches 100 degrees F in the thickest part of the lamb, making sure your thermometer isn't touching the bone.
• Move the lamb to direct heat and grill to your preferred doneness, approximately 2 minutes per side. Leave the lid open on your grill and don't leave. Their is a fat cap on a rack of lamb, and over the direct heat it will cook quickly and has a potential for flare up. Stay close to remove the rack as needed.
• Refer to the temperature guide in the notes, I do not recommend cooking lamb above Medium Rare.

GRILLED RACKS OF LAMB WITH SMOKY SEASONINGS

Steps:

• Mix paprika, chilies, mint, thyme and 1 tablespoon olive oil to make a paste. With a sharp knife, make cuts about an inch deep at top end of racks, where chops can be separated; cut as if you were starting to slice rack into individual chops. Place about a half-teaspoon of spice and herb mixture into each cut.
• Place racks in a shallow dish, combine remaining olive oil with vinegar and wine, and pour mixture over racks. Turn racks to coat and marinate 2 to 3 hours, turning once or twice.
• Heat charcoal or gas grill. When coals are hot but not flaming, or gas grill is about 600 degrees, place racks on grill, fat side down. Sear about 2 minutes, turn, and cook about 20 minutes. Cover briefly if meat flames up. For medium rare, instant-read thermometer should read 120 degrees. Alternatively, racks can be roasted in a 450-degree oven for about 25 minutes.
• Remove meat from grill or oven. Allow to rest 10 minutes, carve into individual chops and serve.
