Barbecued rack of lamb
A lovely, simple way of cooking lamb on a spit-roast barbecue. Tonci’s tip on ageing the meat first is brilliant – it gives a richer, more flavoursome result. Afterwards, take the meat out of the fridge half an hour before cooking so it doesn’t suddenly leap from the cold of the fridge to the extreme heat of the barbie.
You will need to begin this recipe two days ahead.
Ingredients
1 - lamb rack with outer layer of fat intact (be sure the butcher doesn’t remove it)
rosemary sprigs, broken into short pieces
sea salt
Preparation
Place the lamb on a wire rack and refrigerate uncovered for a couple of days to age the meat.
Make shallow cuts all over the outer layer of fat and stud with rosemary sprigs, leaving some of the leaves exposed. Rub liberally with sea salt.
Spit-roast over high heat to seal. Reduce the heat and continue to cook to your liking. Slice into cutlets and serve with roasted vegetables.
