Chef Report post Posted April 27, 2011 Every Easter I enjoy having a "throw down" of sorts grilling up one of my all time favorites. New Zealand lamb rack! I love to make different rubs and sauces and really enjoy the juicy, fatty, gamey flavor that lamb carries. This year was no different and I grilled plenty over mesquite. I rubbed some with a chipotle/garlic paste, some others in a masala/yogurt marinade, and others in mint/rosemary/garlic marinade. For the sauces I had a mint yogurt sause for the masala, and a tamarind chiltepin chile sauce for the others. They came out great as always and of course I followed the "10 minuet rest" rule before slicing! Even my long time companion had a good Easter! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joeeden Report post Posted April 27, 2011 Chef, that looks incredible. Where do you buy your rack of lamb? The grocery stores in Flagstaff leave a lot to be desired when it comes to lamb. Especially full racks. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chef Report post Posted April 27, 2011 That's correct, on one account. Costco had New Zealand lamb rack for $14.99/lb, this is what I bought. AJ Fine Foods had American lamb rack for $34.99/lb. Von Hansens had Austrailian rack of lamb for 24.99/lb, frozen. I recommend any of the three. Lamb is pulling an all time high right now as are a lot of other commodities. American lamb has a larger eye than both New Zealand and Australian lamb. Most of the lamb you have in restaurants is New Zealand farm raised lamb. Thanks again everyone for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoy food as much as I do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's become one of my favorite meals to treat myself to when I get the urge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
