Rack Of Lamb With Gremolata Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season lamb generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil; heat until hot but not smoking. Add lamb; cook, turning once, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Pour off fat. Transfer skillet to oven; cook lamb until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat registers 130 degrees (for medium-rare), 20 to 25 minutes. Let lamb rest 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make gremolata: Remove zest from orange using a vegetable peeler; finely chop zest (you should have 1/4 cup). Stir together zest, 1/3 cup orange juice (from zested orange), the lemon juice, parsley, and remaining 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cut lamb into chops. Serve with the gremolata.

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:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Move oven rack to the center position.
• In a large bowl, combine bread crumbs, garlic, rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss in 2 tablespoons olive oil to moisten mixture. Set aside.
• Season the rack all over with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large heavy oven proof skillet over high heat. Sear rack of lamb for 1 to 2 minutes on all sides. Set aside for a few minutes. Brush rack of lamb with the mustard. Roll in the bread crumb mixture until evenly coated. Cover the ends of the bones with foil to prevent charring.
• Arrange the rack bone side down in the skillet. Roast the lamb in preheated oven for 12 to 18 minutes, depending on the degree of doneness you want. With a meat thermometer, take a reading in the center of the meat after 10 to 12 minutes and remove the meat, or let it cook longer, to your taste. Let it rest for 5 to 7 minutes, loosely covered, before carving between the ribs.

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 the oven to 400 degrees. Sprinkle the lamb generously with salt and pepper and rub it with the garlic cloves.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. When very hot, add the racks of lamb and cook, turning, until all sides are browned, about 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer the lamb to a roasting pan with a rack and roast, rounded side up, for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, to make the gremolata, combine the zest, garlic, parsley and salt in a small bowl and stir until thoroughly mixed.
• Remove the lamb from the oven, turn it so that the rounded side is down and press the gremolata onto the chops. Return the lamb to the oven and roast until the meat reaches the desired doneness, about 3 more minutes for medium rare. Transfer the racks to a cutting board, cool for 5 minutes and, using a sharp knife, cut the racks into individual chops. Transfer to a platter and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees.
• Season the lamb with salt and pepper and let it rest until it reaches room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Place in a roasting pan and roast for about 20 to 25 minutes for medium-rare.
• When the lamb has cooked for about 15 minutes, mince the mint, garlic and lemon zest until very fine, almost a paste.
• Note: Fresh mint will discolor almost immediately, so do this at the last -- about 5 minutes before you'll use it.
• Spread the mint gremolata over the rack of lamb and return to the oven for the final 5 minutes.
• Remove the rack of lamb from the oven and let it rest under a foil tent for about 10 minutes.
• Cut it into chops and serve.
