How to Make Grilled Rack of Lamb
There is nothing more elegant and tasty than a grilled rack of lamb with a garlic and herb crust! I've added parmesan cheese to add an additional layer of decadence to this dish! Fire up the grill, or roast this in your oven, either way you can't go wrong!
  • Prep Time:
  • Cook Time:
  • Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • (1) “Frenched” Lamb Rack
  • (1 oz) Organic Rosemary leaves
  • (1 oz) Organic Thyme leaves
  • (1 oz) Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • (2 tbs) Garlic
  • (3 tbs) Organic Imported Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • (3 tbs) Stone-Ground Express Mustard
  • Bourbon Smoked Sea Salt
  • Bourbon Smoked Pepper

Directions

Pre-heat the grill for 10 minutes on high before grilling, then reduce heat to medium high.  If roasting in the oven, pre-heat to 400 degrees before roasting

Preparation:

Step 1 - Additional trimming of the lamb rack is optional, but shown for demonstration purposes.  Once  trimmed to your liking, season with olive oil, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.  Grill or roast in the oven until desired internal temperature is reached.  Use an instant read thermometer to check for doneness.  Recommended internal temperature is 145 degrees for medium rare, so pull it off the grill our out of the oven at 135 degrees and cover with foil.  It will continue to cook to desired temperature

Step 2 - Use a food processor or small blender and add the herbs, cheese, and some olive oil to blend the herb mixture for the crust

Step 3 - Once grilled or roasted to just under your desired temperature, coat with the express mustard, then add the herb and cheese crust and spread evenly on the lamb rack and place into the oven for approximately 3 - 5 minutes to set the herbs and melt the cheese 

Step 4 - Remove from oven and transfer to a plate and let it rest for 5 - 10 minutes before serving

Serve with garlic mashed potatoes or a nice Ratatouille! Enjoy!!!

Pit Master's Tip:  For additional tenderness and flavor, you can smoke roast the lamb rack, then direct grill it to sear it.  Then apply the herb crust and finish it in the oven!

Bacon Jam Pork Sliders with Dill Pickle Slaw

I had heard of this thing called bacon jam a couple years ago and it definitely intrigued me. Don’t ask me why it took me that long to actually make it myself - trust me, after tasting it, I’m wondering the same thing. Bacon jam is a great and simple way to elevate the flavor of your recipes. In this case, I am using it as a topper for my pork sliders. Pork and more pork. Need I say more? It’s the perfect balance between sweet and savory. The caramelized texture and rich flavor makes it the best condiment for so many different dishes, sweet and savory alike. Pro tip, put it on top of some vanilla ice cream and your life will be complete. Bacon jam is technically a relish, so store it in an air tight jar in the refrigerator and enjoy for weeks to come. And you WILL enjoy it! This recipe is one of a kind and a combination of some of my favorite flavors. You really can't go wrong with bacon or dill pickle, am I right? The slaw really brings a refreshing element to this recipe and in my opinion completes it, but if it's not your gig, you can do away with it. I used ground pork and made small patties for this recipe, but you can most certainly substitute pulled pork as well. With that said, get to cooking so you can get to eating! Enjoy!

Spencer's Lamb Minestone Soup

You may know Spencer from seeing him completing chores with the farm operations team, but around here he's also known for stellar cooking skills. Each month, Spencer graciously prepares a team meal on a day we all look forward to that we call "feastivities." Spencer has filled our bellies (and hearts!) with many delicious meals these past several months, and today we share one of our favs - Lamb Minestrone Soup.

Rosemary Dijon Chicken Thighs

When it comes to making meals for my family, I try to prepare dishes that are elevated in flavor, but will also be something that will interest my toddlers (and sometimes even my husband for that matter haha). Kids don’t always care for the fancy foods, but I truly enjoy introducing new ingredients to my family, and incorporating different elements to my recipes. So finding that balance is my mission in the kitchen. Chicken is like the most blank canvas you can get in the culinary world. It can so beautifully adapt to any flavor profile and can be cooked many different ways. It’s one my of most favorite proteins and I could eat it every day, truly. This recipe envelopes simple home-style cooking, while representing refined and gourmet flavors. The rosemary brings an earthy freshness, while the Dijon mustard adds a tangy kick. It’s completed with a rich buttery sour cream that just brings the whole dish together. If you’re looking for a perfectly balanced dish, this is it. I hope you enjoy!
