Ingredients
- 1 lb New Zealand spring rack of lamb (fat trimmed and frenched)
- 3 cloves garlic (crushed)
- 3 cloves smashed garlic
- salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 10 oz baby spinach (washed)
- 1 tsp agave nectar (or sugar)
- salt and fresh pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh Rosemary
- 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients for marinade.
- Season lamb with salt and pepper. Lay lamb chops in a bowl, add marinade and let it marinate 20 minutes or refrigerate a few hours or overnight.
- Remove lamb from refrigerator if marinated overnight before cooking so that the meat comes back to room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 450°.
- Roast lamb in the center of the oven for about 12 - 18 minutes for medium rare, or until the internal temperature is 130° - 135°.
- Remove from oven and cover with foil for about 5 - 10 minutes before slicing. Use a very sharp knife to carve between the ribs.
- While the lamb is in the oven, heat a large sauté pan on hight heat.
- When hot add oil and garlic. Cook until golden then add spinach; reduce heat to low and and cover.
- Spinach will wilt in a few minutes, stir so all spinach wilts then season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
- *Note: I'm aware there are 8 ribs on this rack, sometimes they have 6 or 7. A suggested serving size is 3 ribs, nutritional info is based on 6 ribs or 3 each. Adjust calories/points if you eat more than 3.
