Gourmet Rack of Lamb

This gourmet rack of lamb will make you feel like a master chef! It’s great any time you’re trying to impress or when you want a delicious meal that’s even better than what you find in a restaurant!

Ingredients

1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup olive oil
12 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
3 Racks of Lamb

Racks of lamb serve approximately four-six bones per person. Pick your favorite racks or what’s available in your hometown.

Marinade Ingredients

1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
12 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Don’t trim any fat from the lamb racks.

Directions

Unpack and clean lamb racks. Lamb has several layers of membranes. Peel 3-4 of these off so the seasoning and smoke better permeates the meat.

Crush the rosemary in a small food processor or mortar and pestle. Mince the garlic with a garlic press (or use equal quantity – 4-5 tablespoons – of minced garlic from a jar).

Make a paste with the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Use this paste to coat any part of the rack of lamb that is not covered with fat.

Sprinkle salt and pepper on the fat cap on the top side of the rack. Set the grill to 400°. Grill the lamb for about 12 minutes per side or until done to your liking. This method cooks to medium-rare only, but adjust to your taste.
