Rosemary Rack of Lamb with Easy Tzatziki image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 7h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped garlic (4 cloves)
1 tablespoon dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons good olive oil
2 racks of lamb (14 to 16 ounces each), frenched
Easy Tzatziki (recipe follows)
1 hothouse cucumber, unpeeled and seeded
2 (7-ounce) containers Greek yogurt, such as Fage Total
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the rosemary, garlic, oregano, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper in a food processor and process until minced. Add the olive oil and process into a coarse paste. Place the lamb on a sheet pan with the rib ends pointing down and spread the paste evenly on top of both racks. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
  • When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Roast the lamb for 25 minutes exactly for medium rare and 30 minutes for medium. Remove from the oven and cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Allow the lamb to rest for 15 minutes. The internal temperature should read about 140 degrees when an instant-read thermometer is inserted sideways into the center of the lamb. Slice between the ribs into individual chops and serve hot or warm with Easy Tzatziki.
  • Grate the cucumber by hand on a box grater, as you would grate carrots. Squeeze the cucumber with your hands to remove a lot (but not all) of the liquid. Place in a medium bowl and stir in the yogurt, sour cream, lemon juice, vinegar, dill, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Serve cold or at room temperature.

GRILLED RACK OF LAMB WITH ROSEMARY-LEMON SAUCE



Grilled Rack of Lamb With Rosemary-Lemon Sauce image

Provided by Bryan Miller

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 4h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 racks of lamb, about 3 1/2 pounds total (8 ribs per rack)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 teaspoons dried rosemary or 1 tablespoon fresh
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 tablespoons sweet butter
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1/4 cup diced parsley

Steps:

  • Peel the thick layer of fat off the back of the racks of lamb. Trim all other fat with a knife and discard. Using a heavy cleaver, chop off the rib bones a few inches from the base. This allows the meat to lay on the grill more easily; the ribs should be grilled separately and served as well.
  • Place all the meat in a roasting pan. Season generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with rosemary and rub with olive oil. Let sit for several hours.
  • Place the base of the racks over hot coals and grill for about 10 minutes, covered, turning occasionally. Add the rib sections during the last 5 minutes.
  • When the meat is cooked place all pieces in an ovenproof roasting pan and let rest on the side of the grill where heat is least intense. Add the butter and shallots to the pan. When the butter has melted, add the lemon juice and the parsley. Let all this mix with the meat drippings for about 5 minutes.
  • Carve the rack into serving portions in the roasting pan to catch the juices. Place the meat and some of the ribs on each serving plate. Stir the sauce well over the heat and spoon some over the meat. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rack of lamb: Look for a rack of lamb that is evenly marbled with fat and has a good layer of fat on the outside. This will help to keep the lamb moist and flavorful as it cooks.
  • Season the lamb well: Rub the lamb with a mixture of olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper before grilling. This will help to enhance the flavor of the lamb.
  • Cook the lamb over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the lamb while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness: For medium-rare, cook the lamb to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit. For medium, cook the lamb to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. For medium-well, cook the lamb to an internal temperature of 155 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the lamb rest before carving: This will help to redistribute the juices and make the lamb more tender.

Conclusion:

Grilled rack of lamb is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your rack of lamb is cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor.
