Spiced Rack of American Lamb
Recipe provided by | A BROWN TABLE
Servings: 4-6
INGREDIENTS
2 pound rack of American Lamb, fat trimmed and discarded
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon dried mint
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
Lemon wedges to serve
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 400F.
While the oven is warming, mix 1 Tbsp of olive oil with the garam masala, mint, and salt. Massage this mixture over the lamb and let it rest covered for 30 minutes.
Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat. Heat the olive oil in the pan. Once the oil is hot, sear the lamb till golden brown for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Using a pair of tongs, transfer the lamb with a pair of tongs to a baking sheet or roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 15 to 10 minutes, until the lamb is cooked to the desired degree of doneness. For a crispier crust on the lamb, turn the oven to a medium broil and broil for about 2 to 3 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
Remove the lamb from the oven, cover loosely with a foil tent for about 5 minutes to rest. Drizzle with the pan juices and serve immediately.
