  1. 135f? Way overcooked and well done for lamb. They should come out of the oven at 105-110f and then rest. They will finish at 120-125f after resting, which is medium rare. Better to take them out at 100-105f, so they will finish at 110-115f, which is a nice rare, They were already dead.

  2. If you really like lamb, skip the panko and don't trim the fat. Salt, pepper and season to taste, give it a really good browning sear in a hot cast iron skillet, then 20 minutes or so in a 350 oven, let it rest and you're done at 130-135 degrees. Costco has really good Australian lamb racks.

  3. This is astounding, and I can’t wait to give it a try now that barbeque season is upon us (for some reason, lamb just feels right on the barbeque – and I say that knowing it’s trickier to regulate the temperature, but I’ll give it a shot).

  4. My welsh mom roasted a leg of lamb for special dinners with friends and always had mint jelly to go with it. Sadly she is gone now and I have never cooked one myself. This rack of lamb looks to easy. You should give some info on price per rack. It would be easy to gobble up several lamb lollipops at one go!

  5. I love rack of lamb, and this is a stellar recipe. It varies slightly from the French recipe I was taught but the changes, like the lemon zest, and the anchovy fillets, are welcomed additions. Thank you ATK, keep up the good work👍

  6. I actually prefer 130 but if a 'well done' chop is what you want save $$ and buy pork. Costco almost always has great lamb, I bought one today, and Meijer's has had rack of lamb half price most of the summer. I can enjoy it on the grill a couple times a month when it isn't so freakin expensive.

  7. Aussie Beef tends to be a little gamey too. I think Lamb often gets a bad rap because people have had experience with Mutton in the past and associate that with the fine cuts of young Spring Lamb. Great recipe!

  8. THE dish to serve to people who don't like lamb is lamb-in-cabbage (fårikål). Somehow the cabbage neutralizes the funky taste. I don't like lamb, but I will make lamb-in-cabbage when autumn comes..

    The smell is out of this world. Surely those few ingredients can't make such a wonderful smell? There must be something illegal hidden somewhere!!!
