Rack of Lamb with Spinach Pine-Nut Crust and Minted Pea Sauce image

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

For crust mixture
1/2 cup pine nuts (about 3 ounces)
1 pound spinach (about 2 bunches)
1 cup packed fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
1/4 pound sliced smoked ham
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups fine fresh bread crumbs
1 whole large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 racks of lamb (8 ribs and about 1 1/2 pounds each), frenched to eye of meat*
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Accompaniment:minted pea sauce
*available by request from butchers

Steps:

  • Make crust mixture:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. In a baking pan toast pine nuts in middle of oven until golden, about 10 minutes, and cool.
  • Discard stems from spinach and coarsely chop spinach. Rinse spinach and drain in a colander. In a large heavy kettle cook spinach in water clinging to leaves, covered, 1 minute, or until just wilted. Drain spinach well in colander, pressing out excess liquid with back of a large spoon, and cool. Tear ham into pieces. In a food processor pulse spinach with nuts, parsley, ham, and butter until finely chopped and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in remaining crust ingredients until combined well. Crust mixture may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
  • Increase temperature to 425°F. If leaving strip of fat on racks, score a diamond pattern on fat with tip of a sharp thin knife. Halve lamb racks to form six 4-rib pieces. Pat lamb dry and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a large heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and lightly brown pieces 2 at a time, on all sides, about 1 minute total for each batch. Transfer pieces as browned to a large shallow roasting pan and arrange meaty sides up. Spread meaty side of each piece with 1 teaspoon mustard. Divide crust mixture into 6 portions and pat over mustard coating on each piece, gently pressing to help adhere.
  • Roast lamb in middle of oven 25 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted 2 inches into center registers 135°F. for medium-rare. Transfer lamb to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes.
  • Cut lamb into individual chops and serve with sauce.

MINT CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB



Mint Crusted Rack of Lamb image

I love how the sweet, herbaceous crust works with the subtly gamey meat. Lamb is obviously a popular Easter menu option and this mint-crusted rack of lamb is perfect for the occasion.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup fresh mint leaves
2 cloves garlic, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup plain bread crumbs
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 ½ tablespoons finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
¼ cup Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons honey
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 (1 1/4 pound) racks of lamb, trimmed
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Cook mint leaves in a pot of boiling water for about 10 seconds.
  • Transfer mint leaves to a bowl of ice water; soak for 30 seconds, drain and squeeze dry.
  • Combine blanched mint with garlic, olive oil, bread crumbs, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a food processor or blender. Blend for 20 to 30 seconds until fine and crumbly.
  • Transfer mint mixture to a large bowl; stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, set aside.
  • Combine 1/4 cup Dijon mustard and 2 teaspoons honey in a small bowl, set aside.
  • Combine extra-virgin olive oil, rice vinegar, 2 teaspoons honey, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a jar with a lid. Shake vinaigrette vigorously until combined, about 30 seconds. Set vinaigrette aside.
  • Slice 1/2 to 1-inch slits between each bone of the lamb racks to assure the meat roasts evenly.
  • Season each rack with salt and black pepper on all sides.
  • Heat vegetable oil in skillet over high heat. Brown each lamb rack for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
  • Transfer lamb racks to the foil-lined baking sheet.
  • Brush each rack with mustard and honey mixture. Sprinkle mint mixture over the top and sides of each rack.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned on top and medium rare in the center, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 125 to 130 degrees F (52 to 54 degrees C). Remove from oven and allow lamb to rest for 10 minutes before serving, drizzled with honey mustard vinaigrette.

ROAST RACK OF LAMB WITH MINT SAUCE



Roast Rack of Lamb with Mint Sauce image

The lamb that we buy today hardly requires a typical English mint sauce (the puckery flavor was originally designed to cut through the stronger taste of mutton), but the combination is by now a traditional and still-welcome one. Buttered carrots and a watercress salad would complement the lamb nicely. Uncork a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon or red Bordeaux.

Categories     Lamb     Mustard     Roast     New Year's Eve     Mint     Rack of Lamb     Winter     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 8-chop racks of lamb, trimmed

  • Arrange lamb, meat side up, on large baking sheet with rim. Roast lamb 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Roast until thermometer inserted into lamb registers 130°F. for medium-rare, about 20 minutes longer.
  • Transfer lamb to work surface. Tent with foil; let stand 5 minutes. Cut lamb racks between bones into chops. Arrange chops on plates. Garnish with mint sprigs; pass Mint Sauce separately.

RACK OF LAMB WITH MINT-BASIL PESTO



Rack of Lamb with Mint-Basil Pesto image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups lightly packed fresh mint leaves
3/4 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves
3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 (1 1/2-pounds each) racks of lamb, trimmed and frenched

Steps:

  • Blend the mint, basil, nuts, cheese, lemon juice, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper in a food processor until the herbs are finely chopped. With the machine running, gradually blend in 1/3 cup of oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Generously sprinkle the lamb racks with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a grill pan or heavy large skillet over high heat. Place 1 lamb rack in the skillet and cook just until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the lamb rack meat side up on a heavy large baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining 2 lamb racks.
  • Roast the lamb in the oven until cooked to desired doneness, about 20 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer the lamb racks to a work surface. Set aside for 10 minutes. Cut the lamb between the bones into single chops. Spread the pesto over 1 cut side of each chop. Arrange the chops, pesto side up, on plates or a platter, and serve.
  • Do-Ahead Tip: The pesto and lamb racks may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead. Cover the pesto and lamb separately and refrigerate. Allow extra time for the chilled lamb to roast.
  • Alternately, the racks of lamb can be sliced then broiled before serving. To broil the lamb: Use 18 to 24 meaty single lamb rib chops (about 2 1/2 ounces each, from 3 racks of lamb). Preheat the broiler. Arrange the lamb chops in a single layer over 2 heavy baking sheets. Lightly brush the lamb chops with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Watching closely, broil the lamb chops 3 inches from the heat source until cooked to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Spread the pesto over the chops. Arrange the chops pesto side up on plates or a platter, and serve.
