Best Rack Of Lamb With Gremolata Recipes

HERB-CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, parsley, thyme and garlic. Add oil and toss; set aside. Sprinkle lamb with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, brown meat on both sides. Brush mustard over top of meat, then roll in crumb mixture., Place racks in a shallow baking pan side by side with bones interlaced resting against each other. Bake 30-40 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

RACK OF LAMB WITH MINT GREMOLATA

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees.
• Season the lamb with salt and pepper and let it rest until it reaches room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Place in a roasting pan and roast for about 20 to 25 minutes for medium-rare.
• When the lamb has cooked for about 15 minutes, mince the mint, garlic and lemon zest until very fine, almost a paste.
• Note: Fresh mint will discolor almost immediately, so do this at the last -- about 5 minutes before you'll use it.
• Spread the mint gremolata over the rack of lamb and return to the oven for the final 5 minutes.
• Remove the rack of lamb from the oven and let it rest under a foil tent for about 10 minutes.
• Cut it into chops and serve.

RACK OF LAMB WITH GREMOLATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Sprinkle the lamb generously with salt and pepper and rub it with the garlic cloves.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. When very hot, add the racks of lamb and cook, turning, until all sides are browned, about 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer the lamb to a roasting pan with a rack and roast, rounded side up, for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, to make the gremolata, combine the zest, garlic, parsley and salt in a small bowl and stir until thoroughly mixed.
• Remove the lamb from the oven, turn it so that the rounded side is down and press the gremolata onto the chops. Return the lamb to the oven and roast until the meat reaches the desired doneness, about 3 more minutes for medium rare. Transfer the racks to a cutting board, cool for 5 minutes and, using a sharp knife, cut the racks into individual chops. Transfer to a platter and serve immediately.
