RACK OF LAMB PROVENCALE WITH GARLIC CONFIT



Rack of Lamb Provencale With Garlic Confit image

Yet another Lamb Recipe from my Toolbelt. LCBO, featured the Flavours of France and share with you. Succulent rack of lamb, heady with the fragrance of garlic and herbs. The garlic loses all its strong aromas and becomes a mellow vegetable when it is cooked. Its flavour beautifully complements the lamb. As an ideal match for the rich savour of lamb, herbs and garlic, Wine Tidings magazine chooses these robust full bodied reds from Southern France. - Fortant de France Cabernet Sauvignon. - Rigal Cahors. - Chateau de Gourgazaud. - Rasteau Cote du Rhone Villages (my third choice). - Calvet Reserve Bordeaux. - Guigal Cotes du Rhone (my second choice). - Jaboulet Crozes Hermitage. - Chateau Montlabert. - Mommessin Chateauneuf-du-Pape (my first choice).

RACK OF LAMB PROVENÇALE



RACK OF LAMB PROVENÇALE image

Categories     Lamb

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 15

For the provençale breadcrumbs
75g/3oz white or brown bread, crusts removed
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 pinches sea salt
2 pinches freshly ground black pepper
1 handful flatleaf parsley, leaves only, finely chopped
2 sprigs thyme, leaves only, finely chopped
1 sprig rosemary, leaves only, finely chopped
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
For the lamb
4 tbsp olive oil
200g/7oz lamb bones and trimmings, chopped into 2cm/¾in pieces (ask your butcher nicely and they should be free!)
2 racks best end spring lamb, about 8 ribs each, French trimmed
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • For the breadcrumbs, preheat oven to 80C/175F/Gas ¼ and toast on a baking tray for two hours. Put toasted breadcrumbs into a food processor and add the garlic, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pulse until you have a sandy-textured mixture, then add the herbs and pulse once more to blend. Drizzle in the olive oil, add more salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and set aside. For the lamb, preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5. Heat half of the oil in a large ovenproof frying pan and fry the lamb bones over a high flame for about seven minutes, or until they are browned all over. Set the pan aside. Heat the remaining oil in another frying pan and fry the lamb over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes on the fat side, then one minute on the meat side or until lightly browned. Place the racks of lamb on top of the browned bones and cook in the oven for 15 minutes. Resting the racks on the bones will allow the air to circulate so they cook more evenly. Remove the racks from the pan and leave to rest for at least 10 minutes. Place the breadcrumbs on a shallow baking tray. Brush the racks all over with the mustard, then press into the breadcrumbs to coat and place on a clean baking tray. The racks can be prepared to this stage up to half a day before serving - cover with a clean tea towel and place in the fridge. To finish the dish, bring the racks of lamb to room temperature if they've been prepared earlier and kept in the fridge. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5. Cook the lamb in the oven for 15 minutes, then let rest for 10 minutes. Gently reheat the ratatouille if it has been made in advance and place on warmed serving plates. To serve, divide each rack into two pieces and place on top of the ratatouille. Alternatively, separate each rib, arrange on a large flat dish and serve the ratatouille in a bowl alongside.

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rack of lamb: Look for a rack that is evenly marbled and has a good amount of fat. This will help keep the lamb moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Trim the lamb: Remove any excess fat or silver skin from the lamb before cooking. This will help the lamb cook evenly and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Season the lamb: Season the lamb liberally with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the lamb.
  • Cook the lamb properly: The best way to cook a rack of lamb is to roast it in the oven. Roast the lamb at a high temperature for a short amount of time to create a nice crust, then reduce the temperature and continue roasting until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the lamb rest: 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.
