Ingredients
For the Lamb:
- 1 rack lamb (about 2 lbs)
- 1 tsp kosher salt (to lightly coat the rack)
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ⅓ cup white wine
- 3 cloves garlic (chopped, optional)
- 2 prigs fresh Rosemary
For the Red Bell Pepper Butter Sauce:
- 1 ½ Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 large red pepper (diced)
- 1 cup chicken stock
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ¼ tick butter
- ⅛ tsp salt (to taste)
- ⅛ tsp white pepper (to taste)
Instructions
A day before serving this rack of lamb:
- Salt and marinate the lamb by soaking the rack of lamb in a large bowl of water for half an hour. Drain, then sprinkle with a light coating of Kosher salt. Let drain on rack for about 45 minutes then rinse off the salt
- Marinate lamb with the extra virgin olive oil and white wine, cloves of minced garlic, and fresh rosemary sprigs; turn after 12 hours
The following day:
- Preheat the barbecue, oven or air fryer.
- Meanwhile, prepare the red bell pepper sauce by putting the extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan over medium high heat, then add the garlic and diced red pepper.
- Sauté for about 5 minutes, then add the chicken stock and continue to cook until the liquid is reduced by half.
- Next, add the heavy cream and reduce while cooking over low heat. When it begins to have a light, creamy consistency, add the butter and salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove from heat and blend to a very smooth sauce with an immersion blender (put in a jar) or a blender or food processor. (I have a VitaMix and did not need to strain the sauce, but if you have little pieces of red pepper in the sauce, strain it through a fine mesh strainer.)
Cook the lamb on the grill to your liking:
- Or you can roast it in the oven or air fryer. I cooked mine at 350 degrees F for about 15 minutes.
- Let the lamb rest for about 10 minutes covered with a piece of aluminum foil, then slice the rack of lamb.
- Serve with the red bell pepper butter sauce and your choice of sides.
- You can serve the lamb as you prefer, but I tied 3 together with a sprig of rosemary which is so easy to do, but adds so much to the presentation.
Notes
- Always use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meat. Lamb should be 145 degrees F (at minimum).
