HERB-CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB



Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb image

Lamb rack is one of those things that always seems fancy, but the truth is that it's actually so easy, and hard to mess up. This version is super simple and classic. The timing in the recipe yields pink, juicy, medium-rare meat, but you can of course cook it longer/to a higher temperature if preferred. Perfect for your Easter lunch, or as an impressive part of any special occasion meal.

½ teaspoon lemon zest
2 (1 pound) frenched racks of lamb, at room temperature, trimmed of excess fat

RACK OF LAMB WITH A HERB CRUST



Rack of lamb with a herb crust image

The rack is one of the most expensive cuts of lamb, but the meat is so tender and delicious it's worth splashing out once in a while. This looks really impressive, and it's not difficult to cook. Racks are usually sold French-trimmed, which means that the fat is neatly trimmed off the bones, making the dish look pleasingly cheffy. The meat is best served pink under its crunchy, herby crust.

Categories     Main course

Yield Serves 4-5

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 racks of lamb, French trimmed, fat scored
40g/1½oz fresh white breadcrumbs
3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
flaked sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Heat a large, heavy-based frying pan and brown the meat, fat-side down, for 5 minutes. Brown the remaining sides, then transfer the racks to a roasting tin, facing each other, with the bones interlocking.
  • Mix the breadcrumbs with the herbs and garlic, and stir in a pinch of salt and some black pepper. Brush the fat side of each rack with the mustard and cover with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing it carefully so it sticks.
  • Roast the lamb for 25-30 minutes for medium-rare meat. Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil and leave to rest for 8-10 minutes. Carve each rack into individual cutlets and serve with a red wine gravy.

PANKO-CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ounces creamy goat cheese, such as Montrachet
1 1/4 cups panko (Japanese bread flakes)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves
Fleur de sel or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Good olive oil
2 racks of lamb (1 1/2 pounds each), trimmed and frenched
3 tablespoons good Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
  • In a medium bowl, crumble the goat cheese with a fork. Add the panko, garlic, rosemary, thyme, 1 teaspoon fleur de sel, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil and stir to moisten the crumbs. Set aside for a few minutes or cover and refrigerate.
  • Remove the racks of lamb from the refrigerator 30 minutes before you plan to cook them. Place the lamb, fat side up, on the prepared pan. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons fleur de sel and 1 teaspoon pepper. Roast for 12 minutes exactly. Remove from the oven and, working quickly, use a knife to spread the mustard on the top of the lamb. Spread the crumb mixture evenly on the mustard, pressing gently to help the mixture adhere. Return the lamb to the oven right away and continue roasting for another 12 to 18 minutes (depending on the size of the lamb), until the crumbs are golden brown and the meat is 120 degrees F for rare or 125 degrees F for medium rare. (Insert an instant-read thermometer horizontally through the meat.)
  • Cover loosely with aluminum foil and allow the lamb to rest for 8 minutes. Cut the racks into single or double chops and serve hot.

TANGY HERB-CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB



Tangy Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb image

DH and I found this to be an easy, tasty way to prepare rack of lamb. It is from Williams-Sonoma Kitchen. Prep time includes marinating time. I believe DH and I had to cook longer than 15 mins for medium-rare. We skipped the lemon wedges as it was just the two of us and we weren't concerned about presentation.

HERB-CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB WITH WHITE BEAN PURéE



Herb-crusted rack of lamb with white bean purée image

Show off your cooking skills with this restaurant-style cut of lamb served on a butter bean mash

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 16

50g fresh white breadcrumb or white bread, torn into small pieces
2 tbsp roughly chopped parsley
2 tbsp thyme leaf
2 tbsp rosemary leaves, picked from sprigs
zest 1 lemon
25g grated parmesan
2 tbsp olive oil , plus extra for drizzling
2 x 8-bone racks of lamb , well trimmed (see 'Try', below)
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
250g spinach leaves
400g can butter bean , drained and rinsed
1 garlic clove , chopped
6 anchovy fillets
large rosemary sprig, leaves chopped
juice ½ lemon
8 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil , the best quality you can afford

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the breadcrumbs, herbs, zest and Parmesan into a food processor with 1 tbsp of the oil and some seasoning. Blitz until everything is finely chopped.
  • Heat the remaining oil in an ovenproof frying pan. Season the lamb, then brown it well on all sides and turn off the heat. Turn the racks so that they are fat-side up, and brush liberally with the mustard (Step 1, above). Pack over the herb crust (Step 2), drizzle with a bit more oil, and roast for 25 mins until the crust is golden and the lamb is cooked - this will produce lamb that is pink in the middle but cooked all the way through. If you like your lamb rarer, roast for only 20 mins; if you like it more done, give it 5 mins more. Put the lamb on a board to rest.
  • While the lamb is cooking, blitz the beans with the garlic, anchovies, rosemary, lemon juice, some seasoning and 7 tbsp olive oil (or enough to make it a smooth purée. Tip into a saucepan to gently heat.
  • Wilt the spinach in the remaining olive oil in another frying pan. Once the lamb has rested, carefully carve it into chops (Step 3), trying to keep the crust intact. Divide the warm bean purée between 4 plates, add a small mound of spinach, then arrange 3 lamb chops on top of each portion. Sprinkle with stray crumbs and drizzle with a little olive oil.
