Rack of Lamb!
I love lamb! Â It reminds me of my childhood. Â Between my mom and my grandmother, we ate lamb chops or leg of lamb all the time. Â It became a treat in our family and now we are passing it down to our kids. Â My husband decided to treat us to Rack of Lamb last weekend and it turned out perfectly! Â We grilled it outside on the grill and this was the result — mouthwatering!
You will first need to put together a marinade for the lamb chops. We used garlic, rosemary, cilantro and salt & pepper.
Chop and mince your herbs. Â Put it all together in a bowl and add about a half cup of olive oil to make the marinade.
Put your lamb chops in a plastic bag and add the marinade. Â You will want to marinade this for at least 1-2 hours in the refrigerator.
When you take it out of the bag it should look like this. Â Make sure most of the herbs stay on the lamb. Â You can pour the marinade out of the bag onto the lamb before you put it on the grill. Â Then add aluminum foil to the bone end of the lamb. Â This will allow you to easily put the lamb on the grill. Â Cook the Rack of Lamb for about 15 minutes on a 400 degree grill or oven. Â You want your meat thermometer to read 135 degrees before you remove the lamb from the heat.
When you are done it will look like this! Â And it was as yummy as it looks. Â We served it with roasted vegetables but you can also pair it with mashed potatoes! Â This also makes a great birthday or Mother’s Day meal. Â Enjoy!
