Pasture Raised Rack of Lamb
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Seasoning: Rub the rack with olive oil, and season generously with salt, pepper, and herbs like rosemary, thyme, and garlic. You can also coat the lamb with a Dijon mustard and herb rub for added flavor.
-
Searing: In a hot skillet, sear the rack of lamb on all sides for 2-3 minutes per side until browned.
-
Roasting: Transfer the seared lamb to a roasting pan, fat side up, and roast for 15-20 minutes for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (52°C). For medium, roast until the temperature reaches 130°F (54°C).
-
Resting: Remove the lamb from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes under foil before carving. This will ensure the lamb remains juicy and tender.
-
Carving: Slice between the bones to create individual chops for serving.
-
- Crust Option: For a flavorful crust, mix breadcrumbs with herbs, garlic, and olive oil, and press it onto the lamb before roasting.
- Sauce: Pair with a classic mint sauce or a rich red wine reduction for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a light spring salad for a complete meal.
