Makes 2 racks
Ingredients:
2 (7 bone) racks of lamb
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, diced
4 carrots, diced
1 cup chopped celery, with leaves
1 cup red wine
1 cup port wine
1 (10.5 ounce) can chicken broth
5 sprigs fresh spearmint
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 cup mint apple jelly
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions:
1. To Make Demi-Glace:
In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons olive
oil and add trimmings and fat cap from lamb; add salt and pepper
to taste.
2. Cook until fat is brown without being burnt; when cooked,
lower heat and add 4 cloves minced garlic or to taste. Add onion,
carrots, celery tops, port, red wine, and chicken broth; reduce
liquids at a low simmer, adding more stock, port, or wine as
needed to keep pan from going dry.
3. Place mixture into a crock
pot to simmer overnight; strain. Add spearmint, rosemary and
mint jelly; begin simmering over medium-low heat to reduce, adding
more port, wine, or stock as needed until mixture leaves a syrup-like
coating on the back of a spoon. Strain once more and set aside
to keep warm while lamb roasts.
4. To Roast Lamb: Preheat oven
to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
5. Heat a cast iron or oven-proof
skillet in oven until it reaches 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Meanwhile, trim all excess fat and preen rib bones.
6. Rub meat with 2 tablespoons
olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, and 1 tablespoon garlic,
or to taste; coat with panko bread crumbs.
7. In heated skillet, warm 2
tablespoons olive oil and sear loins on both sides; continue
cooking to desired temperature (5 to 7 minutes for medium rare).
8. Pour a small amount of demi-glace on platter and arrange sliced
loins criss-crossed; drizzle with more demi-glace and garnish
with fresh mint; serve. |
