Herb Crusted Rack Of Lamb With Red Wine Sauce Recipes

HERB CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB WITH RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Trim the lamb racks of visible fat and connective tissue. Put each rack into a resealable bag. Mix together all the marinade ingredients and pour half into each bag. Seal the bags, place them into a bowl or dish in case they leak, and put them into the refrigerator for at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Put the lamb on the counter to warm up at least 30 minutes and up to an hour before you are going to roast it.
• Preheat oven to 400F.
• Mix together the bread crumbs, parsley, herbs, salt and pepper. Add enough olive oil to moisten the crumbs so they hold together, about 1 tablespoon.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy large skillet over medium high heat. Take the lamb racks out of the marinade and wipe them down with paper towels. (If you wish, partially cut the rack through every two chops. This will make it easier to cut them into chops later.) One rack at a time, sear the racks in the skillet, about 2 minutes per side.
• Transfer the racks to a roasting pan, meaty sides up. Coat the meaty side of each rack with mustard and then top each with half of the bread crumbs, patting it into place. Roast the racks for 20-25 minutes, until a thermometer reads about 130F for medium rare. Let the racks rest for 10 minutes, then serve with the wine sauce.
• You can make the wine sauce any time up to the day before. If made ahead, reheat it while the lamb rests.
• In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the shallots, garlic and a sprinkle of kosher salt. Saute for 3-4 minutes. Whisk in the flour. Cook for 1 minute. Add the stock and wine. Bring to a rolling boil and cook until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
• Pass the sauce through a fine mesh strainer and discard the solids.
• Serve the lamb with the sauce along side.

HERB-CRUSTED LEG OF LAMB WITH RED WINE GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Use a sharp knife to make little slits all over the lamb, then insert a slice of garlic into each hole. Tip the onions and carrot into a large flameproof roasting tin, then place the lamb on top and season. Pour 250ml water into the base of the tin and roast in the oven for 30 mins.
• Meanwhile, make the crust by mixing together all the ingredients and seasoning well. Remove the lamb from the oven and turn the heat down to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Brush the lamb all over with the mustard, then pack on the crust in a thick layer - don't worry if any falls in the tin, this will be used in the gravy later (you probably won't use the entire crust, so set aside what's left for later). Return the lamb to the oven and cook for a further 1 hr 30 mins. Check the lamb during cooking and add more water to the base of the tin if it dries out.
• Remove the lamb from the tin, cover lightly with foil and leave to rest for 30-40 mins - if covered too tightly, the crust will go soggy.
• To make the gravy, put the roasting tin with the vegetables still in it directly on the heat and whisk in the flour. Cook for 1 min, then add the wine, scraping any flour from the bottom of the tin. Let it bubble for 1 min, then pour in the stock. Bring to the boil, then simmer gently for 10-15 mins until thickened, stirring in a little of the reserved crust for a thicker gravy. Strain the gravy through a sieve into a pan, discarding the vegetables left in the sieve. Add mustard to taste and stir through the butter. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Add red wine and mint leaves and let reduce to ⅓. Add beef stock and let reduce until sauce coats the back of the spoon. Once reduced, strain out solids using a fine mesh sieve. Stir through butter until melted and incorporated.
