Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup pomegranate juice
1/4 cup dried currants
1 garlic clove, peeled
3 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 large rack of lamb (2 1/4 pounds), well trimmed
1/4 cup chopped natural unsalted pistachios
1/4 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)*

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Boil pomegranate juice, currants, and garlic in medium skillet until liquid is syrupy and mixture is reduced to 1/4 cup, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Transfer mixture to mini processor. Add butter, cinnamon, and cumin and blend until coarse puree forms. Place processor bowl in freezer 10 minutes to firm butter slightly.
  • Line small rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place lamb, bone side down, on sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread pomegranate butter over; sprinkle pistachios and panko over, pressing to adhere.
  • Roast rack of lamb until instant-read thermometer inserted into side registers 135°F for medium-rare, about 30 minutes. Transfer to work surface and let rest 10 minutes. Cut lamb between bones. Drizzle with any juices from foil.
  • Available in the Asian foods section of some supermarkets and at Asian markets.

This was a complete waste of time and money. The lamb was tough and the pistachio crust was inedible.

This was the worst lamb dish I have ever had. The lamb was dry and the pistachio crust was like cardboard.

This recipe was a disaster. The lamb was raw in the middle and the pistachio crust was burnt.

I tried this recipe and the lamb was overcooked. The pistachio crust was also too salty.

The pistachio crust on this lamb was amazing! It added so much flavor and texture. The lamb itself was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
