FRENCHED RACK OF LAMB

Tender oven-roasted rack of lamb, seasoned with rosemary, fresh lemon juice, and garlic, is perfect for entertaining and so easy to make!

Provided by Gina

Categories     Dinner

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cloves garlic (crushed)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
2 racks of lamb (frenched (2 pounds each, 8 ribs each))
1/4 lemon
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt and freshly ground pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Season the lamb racks with lemon juice and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Rub the garlic all over them and sprinkle with rosemary.
  • Set the racks fat side up on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with foil if desired and let stand for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Roast the lamb in the upper third of the oven for about 25 minutes for medium-rare meat, or until a thermometer reaches 130F (or longer if you like your cooked medium or medium-well). Simply insert the tip of the thermometer through the side of the chops and into the thickest part of the meat, careful not to touch the bone (which is hotter than the meat that surrounds it).
  • When that spot reaches 130°F, it's finished. The temperature will continue to rise an additional 5 degrees as the lamb rests.
  • Transfer the lamb racks to a carving board and let them rest, tented with foil for 10 minutes.
  • Carve the lamb in between the rib bones and transfer to plates.
  • Serve right away. Trim fat before eating*.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Lamb

Time 2h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 head garlic
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
½ teaspoon minced fresh thyme
1 ½ cups soft bread crumbs
1 (8 bone) rack Lamb, domestic, rib, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8" fat, choice, raw
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Wrap garlic head in foil.
  • Roast garlic in the preheated oven until soft, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool enough to handle, 15 to 20 minutes. Slice in half; squeeze to remove the roasted garlic within.
  • Combine 1 tablespoon roasted garlic with bread crumbs, parsley, and thyme. Reserve remaining roasted garlic for another use.
  • Wrap the exposed bone sections of the rack individually in aluminum foil.
  • Set the rack, bone-side down, ribs facing away, on a sheet of plastic wrap and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brush meat with mustard to create a thin layer. Spread bread crumb mixture over and press the crumbs into it using the plastic wrap. Set the lamb on a roasting rack. Discard the plastic wrap.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium doneness, or to desired doneness, 25 to 35 minutes. Let the lamb sit for 20 minutes in a warm location; carve into 4 two-bone chops. Season with salt.

I have had this recipe for a long time, and always enjoy making it. You can also do the same thing with beef or pork.

Provided by JENNINE1980

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Lamb

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup fresh bread crumbs
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (7 bone) rack of lamb, trimmed and frenched
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Move oven rack to the center position.
  • In a large bowl, combine bread crumbs, garlic, rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss in 2 tablespoons olive oil to moisten mixture. Set aside.
  • Season the rack all over with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large heavy oven proof skillet over high heat. Sear rack of lamb for 1 to 2 minutes on all sides. Set aside for a few minutes. Brush rack of lamb with the mustard. Roll in the bread crumb mixture until evenly coated. Cover the ends of the bones with foil to prevent charring.
  • Arrange the rack bone side down in the skillet. Roast the lamb in preheated oven for 12 to 18 minutes, depending on the degree of doneness you want. With a meat thermometer, take a reading in the center of the meat after 10 to 12 minutes and remove the meat, or let it cook longer, to your taste. Let it rest for 5 to 7 minutes, loosely covered, before carving between the ribs.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rack of lamb: Look for a rack that is evenly marbled and has a good layer of fat. This will help the lamb stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Prepare the lamb properly: Before cooking, remove the chine bone from the rack of lamb. You can also ask your butcher to do this for you. Then, French the lamb by carefully removing the meat from the bones, leaving about 2 inches of meat attached. This will help the lamb cook evenly and make it easier to carve.
  • Season the lamb well: Rub the lamb with a mixture of olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika. This will help the lamb develop a delicious crust during cooking.
  • Cook the lamb to the desired doneness: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the lamb and the desired doneness. For medium-rare lamb, cook for about 15-20 minutes per pound. For medium lamb, cook for about 20-25 minutes per pound. And for well-done lamb, cook for about 25-30 minutes per pound.
  • Let the lamb rest before serving: Once the lamb is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Cooking a frenched rack of lamb is a relatively simple process, but it does require some attention to detail. By following these tips, you can ensure that your lamb turns out perfectly cooked and delicious. This impressive dish is perfect for a special occasion dinner or a romantic meal for two. Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
