How do you cook rack or lamb and leg of lamb?

wife makes a sauce/marinade and we grill them....excellent....let me see if i can find the recipie

cook either in the oven or the rack on the grill. I season a frenched rack with a little olive oil, salt and pepper and maybe some pesto rubbed in good then grill until medium rare over medium heat, about 10-12 minutes depending on heat or about 16 minutes in a 350 oven. Cover the exposed bones with aluminum foil or they will burn off. Remove from grill and cover with foil for 5-10 minutes.

Leg of lamb I season somewhat the same, and put in a roasting pan on a rack. Put some whole rosemary and thyme on either side that has been dampened with water. Roast for 20 minutes at 500 degrees then turn oven to 300 and roast until medium rare. Remove, cover with foil and let sit for 20 minutes.

Serve with roasted fingerling potatos and carrots, applesauce and hericot vert.

Use a meat thermometer if you have one. I use it on the roast but I can feel the rack and tell doneness but I do them about twice a month. I also like to slice the rack in two rib pieces. Makes them bigger and looks better.

Take the rack and slice; drizzle pesto on a plate and arrange the lolipops. Serve this with applesauce as well.

Or you can make a risotto to serve or even a good orzo. All go well with lamb.

Thanks, I've just recently started with lamb. I've been missing out. Where do you buy your lamb?

Two important things - never let any sort of mint jelly anywhere near your lamb, and when it hits the plate a little fresh lemon juice squeezed right on the meat is a nice finish.

I was also wondering where you get your lamb. I used to buy it at Albertsons but I haven't seen it there in quite some time.

Also, be careful, usually, you need to marinate it to negate the potential gamey flavor.

I would google some marinades that will quench it or it might be unbearable like it was for me the last time I spit roasted one.

As far as seasoning goes...garlic and rosemary or a Greek seasoning mix...

Albertson's carries it. I buy it at Sam's because it is cheap and I'm the only one in the house that eats it. I have to wait for someone to come over so I can cook it and enjoy with someone.
