Lamb for Lovers

By: THEISRAELS

"This is a rack of lamb dish with rosemary and mint demi-glace. Serve with oven roasted red potatoes and sauteed green beans amandine. Perfect for Valentine's Day! Buy a seven bone rack of lamb, and have the butcher trim the fat cap and in between the bones for you, and save these trimmings for roasting."

weblink

What is a Weblink?

Creating a Weblink allows you to save other website links to your Recipe Box-and even dress up the page with an image and notes.

Declutter your “Favorites.” Free up some space on your internet “Favorites” by saving food-related links as Weblinks instead.
Jot it down, then save it. You can’t underline stuff on a webpage, but you can make notes in Weblinks to keep track of stuff you don’t want to forget about the link you added.
Share the wealth. Email any Weblink—notes and all—to friends and family to share your great finds!

Weblinks can also be organized in folders right in your Recipe Box, so it’s easy to keep them handy with all your favorite recipes.

reference

What is a Reference?

If some of your favorite recipes and/or cooking articles are from cookbooks or magazines, you can create a Reference to remind you where they are.

A quick alternative. Instead of entering your favorites as Personal Recipes, you can simply create a Reference for each, making note of the publication and page number.
Save them to your Recipe Box. Keep your References handy with all your other favorite recipes—even create folders for them.
Makes finding recipes easier. No more shuffling through that pile of books and magazines, desperately searching—a Reference will tell you exactly where to look.

When it’s not available online, creating a Reference is the best way to keep track of a recipe or cooking article you don’t want to lose.

Original Recipe Yield 4 servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 (7 bone) racks of lamb, trimmed, fat reserved
salt and pepper to taste
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, diced
4 carrots, diced
1 cup celery tops
1 cup port wine
1 cup red wine
1 (14.5 ounce) can low-sodium chicken broth
5 sprigs fresh spearmint
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 cup mint apple jelly
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 sprigs fresh mint

Directions

To Make Demi-Glace: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat, and add trimmings from lamb. Season with salt and pepper. Brown the fat, reduce heat, and add 4 cloves minced garlic, onion, carrots, celery leaves, port, red wine, and chicken broth. Transfer the mixture to a slow cooker, and simmer on Low 8 hours, or overnight.
Strain the slow cooker mixture into a saucepan over medium-low heat. Mix in the spearmint, rosemary, and mint jelly, and simmer, adding more port, wine, or broth as needed, until mixture leaves a syrup-like coating on the back of a spoon. Strain once more, and keep warm while lamb roasts.
To Roast Lamb: Place a cast iron or oven-proof skillet in the oven, and preheat to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Rub lamb with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic. Coat with panko bread crumbs.
Carefully remove the heated skillet from the oven, warm 2 tablespoons olive oil in the skillet, and sear lamb on both sides. Return the skillet with the lamb to the preheated oven, and continue cooking 5 to 10 minutes, to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
Pour a small amount of the demi-glace on platter and arrange lamb criss-crossed. Drizzle with more demi-glace, and garnish with fresh mint to serve.
