INGREDIENTS

SMOKED RACK OF LAMB INGREDIENTS

1 whole Rack of American Lamb

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and Pepper

HERB BUTTER PASTE INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup of butter

2 tablespoons of olive oil

2 tablespoons of parsley (finely chopped)

1 tablespoon of cumin

1 tablespoon of minced garlic

Salt & pepper

DIRECTIONS

In your smoker, build up heat until you reach an even 225F. (NOTE: I recommend using hickory or apple wood for subtle smoky flavor.)

In a bowl, mix all the ingredients for the Herb Butter Paste thoroughly.

Rub rack of lamb with olive oil and season with salt & pepper. On the side without bones, rub the Herb Butter Paste evenly.

Place lamb in smoker at 225F for 2-2.5 hours or until the internal temperature is at 135F (medium-rare). NOTE: About 15 minutes before pulling the lamb out, start a hot fire in order to sear the outside layers.

When the lamb is ready, pull it out of the smoker and quickly sear the lamb on both sides for 1 minute each.

Let lamb rest for 8-10 minutes.

Enjoy your delicious and adventurous meal!
