Ribs and Racks
A rack is the menu name for a lamb rib roast. There are usually
about 7 ribs per rack and first 5 from the front of the rib section are
the best. The meat is tender and well marbled, with a thin fat covering
that bastes the meat as it roasts.
Cook it simply:
Rub the rack with a cut garlic clove. Spread with Dijon mustard
or a light coating of olive oil. Lightly sprinkle with herbs, such
as rosemary and thyme, and place it in a small baking dish with the rounded
side upward and the rib tips resting on the pan. Roast uncovered, in a
400 degree oven for 10 to 12 min. per pound.
Let sit for 10 min. before carving. |
