Rack of Lamb With Mint Gremolata image

This uses a mint gremolata instead of the expected persillade. Fresh mint has a cool bite that marries beautifully with the lamb -- it recalls the mint jelly that your mother used to pair with it, but without the heavy sweetness.

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (1 1/2 lb) racks of lamb
salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 cup fresh mint leaves
2 garlic cloves
1 lemon, zest of

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.
