Coriander Crusted Rack of Lamb

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs rack of lamb
  • 1 head of garlic
  • ¼ cup cilantro
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 ½ tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Prepare a baking sheet with aluminum foil and top with a wire rack. Place the lamb on the wire rack, fat side up. Let rest at room temperature for 45 minutes. Combine the garlic, cilantro, salt, olive oil, and pepper in a food processor. Pulse until the garlic and cilantro are finely chopped, but not pureed. Rub the mixture on the lamb.
  • Place in the oven and roast until the meat reaches the desired temperature:
    Medium-Rare: 125°F - 25 minutes
    Medium: 135°F - 30 minutes
    Medium-Well: 140°F - 35 minutes
  • Turn the broiler on to high and cook until the fat begins to crisp up, about 2-4 minutes. Remove from the oven and cover in aluminum foil. Let rest for 10 minutes. To serve, use a sharp knife and cut portions between the bones.
