INA GARTEN'S RACK OF LAMB



Ina Garten's Rack of Lamb image

A nice savory glaze of salt, rosemary, thyme, garlic, mustard, and balsamic vinegar makes this lamb recipe sing a lovely song. Recipe developed by Ina Garten (aka the Barefoot Contessa), and slightly adapted by me.

Provided by Sharon123

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
1/4 teaspoon thyme, crushed
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 racks of lamb, frenched (see below)

Steps:

  • In bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, process the salt, rosemary, thyme and garlic until they're as finely minced as possible.
  • Now add the mustard and balsamic vinegar and process for about 1 minute.
  • Put the lamb in a roasting pan with the ribs curving down, and coat the tops with the mustard mixture. Allow to stand for 1 hour at room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Roast lamb for exactly 20 minutes for rare or 25 minutes for medium-rare. Remove from oven and cover with aluminum foil. Allow to sit for 15 minutes, then cut into individual ribs and serve.
  • Frenching is the technique of cutting meat away from the top of a rib or chop before cooking to expose part of the bone. Ask your butcher to trim and french the rack for you. If a butcher is unavailable, follow these steps for presentation-worthy chops: Remove the thick layer of fat from bone side of rack by pulling it away with your hands and using a thin sharp knife to cut through the end; discard. (Bits of lean meat within the fat layer can be frozen for soup.) Remove meat between the ribs to 1 to 2 inches of the eye of the meat by cutting down and up along the bones. Scrape remaining bits of meat from the bone.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb: Opt for racks of lamb that are bright red in color and have a firm texture. Avoid racks that are dull or have excessive marbling.
  • Trim the lamb: Remove any excess fat from the lamb racks before cooking to ensure an even cook and better flavor.
  • Season the lamb generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme to season the lamb racks. This will enhance the natural flavor of the lamb.
  • Sear the lamb: Sear the lamb racks in a hot skillet or grill to create a flavorful crust and lock in the juices.
  • Roast the lamb: Roast the lamb racks in a preheated oven until they reach the desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate cooking.
  • Make the garlic cream sauce: While the lamb is roasting, make the garlic cream sauce by combining heavy cream, garlic, shallots, white wine, and butter in a saucepan. Simmer the sauce until it has thickened slightly.
  • Serve the lamb: Once the lamb is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the lamb racks with the garlic cream sauce and your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

This recipe for rack of lamb with garlic cream sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The lamb is tender and flavorful, and the garlic cream sauce is rich and creamy. This dish is sure to impress your guests. Enjoy!
