This
is a restaurant quality meal that is really easy to cook in large
numbers with little fuss. I watched a few cooking contests and it
seems it's a dish full of pitfalls and easy to overcook. The
contestants are unsure if it's over or under until they slice in.
Most times its over. What a shame. The mistake made is people try to
caramelise the rack all over and render the fat in a hot fry pan
before roasting in an oven. Just completely incorrect.
Usually, only the best quality lambs are butchered into a rack so no problem there. Only error you can make is if it has been frozen. So buy a cryovac vaccuum sealed piece from a quality butcher. It should have been frenced by the butcher but will probably still have the fat on.
Remove the fat, marinade and bring to room temp and then grill (broil). Really easy, fantastic result and virtually impossible to overcook. Two or three is the normal petite serving. But I can go a few more. Luckily, my wife likes three and I get 5. Perfect.
