Kona Coffee Crusted Rack Of Lamb Recipes

Steps:

• For the crust:
• In a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat, add the butter. When the butter is melted, add the shallots and thyme and saute until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the chile powder and stir. Add the bread crumbs and saute until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Remove the crumbs to a small bowl and let cool.
• For the lamb:
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In the same large skillet over high heat, heat the oil. Working in batches, add the lamb racks to skillet, rounded side down. Sear until brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a clean cutting board, seared side up. Spread 2 teaspoons of the mustard over each rack. Press the crumb topping into mustard on the racks, dividing equally. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Roast in the oven until desired doneness, 25 minutes for medium well. Let the lamb rest 5 to 7 minutes before slicing. Arrange the sliced lamb on a serving platter and serve.

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients together and evenly coat the racks of lamb.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large, ovenproof saute pan, heat vegetable oil on high heat until lightly smoking. Carefully sear lamb on both sides quickly. Remove the pan from stove and place in the oven. Bake until lamb reaches an internal temperature of 120 degrees F. Cooking time will vary with individual's oven. Let chops rest for 5 minutes and then cut into portions.
• To serve, place 1/2 of the truffle-taro mash in piping bag and pipe in round flower shapes on the plates. Serve 3 chops next to truffle taro mash. Drizzle some of the pineapple peach chutney on top of the lamb. Drizzle the berry jus sauce over and in front of the lamb.
• Boil the potatoes until tender and drain. Steam the taro until tender. Pass both potatoes and taro separately through a ricer and into separate containers. Incorporate butter and cream into the Yukon mash and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Gently fold in the taro mash and truffle oil until just mixed. Adjust seasonings, to taste. Set aside.
• Soak dried raisins and peaches in 1/2 cup of warm water to soften. Mix remaining ingredients in a bowl. Put all ingredients in a medium saute pan and cook on medium heat until the fruit is tender and the sugar begins to caramelize into a golden brown. Remove from heat. Remove cinnamon sticks, cloves and star anise. Set aside.
• In a saucepan, add the lamb stock and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced to 1 1/2 cups.
• In a separate, small, 2-quart saute pan, saute carrots, celery, and onions in vegetable oil until all vegetables are caramelized and golden brown in color. Pour in 3 cups of red wine and reduce until almost dry and no liquid remains. Add lamb stock, coffee, bay leaves, peppercorns, and thyme. Add fresh raspberries, (or substitute for any berry of your choice) and blackberry jam. Cook until reduced to 1 cup. Strain through fine mesh strainer and add salt and pepper, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees F/220 degrees C.
• Season the meat with salt and pepper. Mix together the oil and mustard, then slather all over the rack to coat well. Mix together the breadcrumbs, cheese and herbs, then pack the mixture onto the lamb rack.
• Place the lamb on a rack, bones arching upwards, in a roasting pan just large enough to hold it and place in oven. Roast until the meat is done to your liking. 20 minutes will give you medium-rare meat. Let the meat rest out of the oven 10 minutes before carving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• In a medium bowl, crumble the goat cheese with a fork. Add the panko, garlic, rosemary, thyme, 1 teaspoon fleur de sel and 1 teaspoon pepper. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil and stir to moisten the crumbs. Set aside for a few minutes or cover and refrigerate.
• Remove the racks of lamb from the refrigerator 30 minutes before you plan to cook them. Place the lamb, fat-side up, on the prepared pan. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons fleur de sel and 1 teaspoon pepper. Roast for 12 minutes exactly. Remove from the oven and, working quickly, use a knife to spread the mustard on the top of the lamb. Spread the crumb mixture evenly on the mustard, pressing gently to help the mixture adhere. Return the lamb to the oven right away and continue roasting for another 12 to 18 minutes (depending on the size of the lamb), until the crumbs are golden brown and the meat is 120 degrees F for rare or 125 degrees F for medium rare. (Insert an instant-read thermometer horizontally through the meat.)
• Cover loosely with aluminum foil and allow the lamb to rest for 8 minutes. Cut the racks into single or double chops and serve hot.

Steps:

• Combine the first 6 ingredients in a large shallow non-reactive container. Place lamb in marinade and let marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.
• Preheat a grill over medium heat. Remove lamb from marinade and grill lamb racks until desired degree of doneness. Top with the Roasted Garlic Rosemary Butter and serve with the balsamic mint vinaigrette.
• Cook the garlic in olive oil in a skillet on the stove for 15 to 20 minutes, or until soft and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Add garlic-olive oil mixture and all remaining ingredients to a food processor and process until thoroughly combined. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
• In a food processor, combine the mustard, mint, shallots, and balsamic vinegar by pulsing a few times. With the food processor running, slowly add the olive oil, and salt and pepper, to taste. Process the mixture again until smooth.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, parsley, thyme and garlic. Add oil and toss; set aside. Sprinkle lamb with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, brown meat on both sides. Brush mustard over top of meat, then roll in crumb mixture., Place racks in a shallow baking pan side by side with bones interlaced resting against each other. Bake 30-40 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450. Put a large frying pan over high heat until very hot. Rub lamb with 1 tablespoon of the oil, season aggressively with salt and pepper and then sear the meat in the pan until it is golden brown all over, approximately 4 minutes a side. Place on a rimmed baking sheet, and let rest for 20 or 30 minutes, until cool.
• In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, cheese and parsley. Rub the cooled-off lamb with the remaining olive oil, then pat the seasoned bread crumbs all over the meat in an even layer.
• Put the lamb back on the baking sheet, and roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 120 degrees, approximately 20 to 30 minutes. (Tent the lamb with foil if the crust threatens to get too dark at the end.) Remove the lamb from the oven, and allow to stand, covered loosely in foil, for 10 minutes or so. (The internal temperature will rise to 125 degrees, or medium-rare, while the lamb sits.) Carve into chops, and serve on a warmed platter.

Steps:

• Brown lamb:
• Heat a dry 12-inch heavy skillet over high heat until hot, at least 2 minutes. Meanwhile, pat lamb dry and rub meat all over with salt and pepper. Add oil to hot skillet, then brown racks, in 2 batches if necessary, on all sides (not ends), about 10 minutes per batch.
• Transfer racks to a small (13- by 9-inch) roasting pan.
• Coat and roast lamb:
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
• Stir together garlic, herbs, salt, pepper, and oil. Coat meaty parts of lamb with herb mixture, pressing to help adhere. Roast 15 minutes, then cover lamb loosely with foil and roast until thermometer inserted diagonally into center of meat registers 120°F, 5 to 10 minutes more. Let stand, covered, 10 minutes. (Internal temperature will rise to 125 to 130°F for medium-rare while lamb stands.)
• Cut each rack into 4 double chops.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
• Combine bread crumbs, parsley, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, mint, rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and lemon zest in the bowl of a food processor. Process until well combined, about 45 seconds. Transfer to a shallow dish and set aside.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high. Pat lamb dry with paper towels. Season with black pepper and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add lamb to skillet and cook until browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes total.
• Brush the lamb with mustard, then dip and roll into prepared bread crumb mixture to coat, pressing gently to adhere. Place lamb on the prepared rack, meat side up, with the bones pointed towards the middle of the rack.
• Roast in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer registers 125 degrees F (52 degrees C) for medium-rare, about 20 minutes, or to desired degree of doneness. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing in between the bones. Serve immediately.
