Rack Of Lamb With Smoked Paprika Recipes

ROSEMARY RACK OF LAMB WITH ROASTED POTATOES AND CARROTS FOR TWO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Rub lamb with garlic, rosemary, pepper, and 1/2 tsp. salt.
• Combine miso, paprika, 4 Tbsp. butter, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a small bowl; set aside.
• Peel potatoes. Working with one potato at a time, slice a thin sliver off one long side to make a flat bottom. Trim ends off, then slice vertically every 1/16", cutting down to 1/4" from the bottom. (To make sure you do not cut all the way through the potato, line it with chopsticks on each side to stop your knife.) Brush potatoes with miso butter, fanning slices open to get butter between each slice. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and roast 15 minutes.
• Remove baking sheet from oven and brush potatoes with more miso butter. Arrange lamb on baking sheet alongside potatoes and roast, brushing potatoes with miso butter halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the lamb registers 125°F for medium-rare, and the potatoes are fork-tender, 20-25 minutes. Transfer lamb to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes, and continue roasting the potatoes if needed until fork-tender.
• Meanwhile, mix honey, coriander, and remaining 1 Tbsp. butter and 1/4 tsp. salt in a small bowl, then brush over carrots. Arrange carrots on a baking sheet and roast until lightly browned and fork-tender, 15-20 minutes.
• Slice lamb between each rib. Brush potatoes with remaining miso butter, top carrots with parsley, and serve alongside lamb.

GRILLED RACKS OF LAMB WITH SMOKY SEASONINGS

Steps:

• Mix paprika, chilies, mint, thyme and 1 tablespoon olive oil to make a paste. With a sharp knife, make cuts about an inch deep at top end of racks, where chops can be separated; cut as if you were starting to slice rack into individual chops. Place about a half-teaspoon of spice and herb mixture into each cut.
• Place racks in a shallow dish, combine remaining olive oil with vinegar and wine, and pour mixture over racks. Turn racks to coat and marinate 2 to 3 hours, turning once or twice.
• Heat charcoal or gas grill. When coals are hot but not flaming, or gas grill is about 600 degrees, place racks on grill, fat side down. Sear about 2 minutes, turn, and cook about 20 minutes. Cover briefly if meat flames up. For medium rare, instant-read thermometer should read 120 degrees. Alternatively, racks can be roasted in a 450-degree oven for about 25 minutes.
• Remove meat from grill or oven. Allow to rest 10 minutes, carve into individual chops and serve.
