Dateline: May 22, 2021 Rack of Lamb on the Grill

What to grill?  What to grill?  In rooting through the freezer I found a rack of lamb, problem solved!

I made a quick marinade of preserved lemon, some calabrian chilis, a fat clove of garlic, and olive oil.  This got blitzed up to make a lovely orange paste which was smeared all over the lamb.  Popped in a plastic bag and in the fridge.

I am into peeling asparagus these days.  It is easy to do, provides a lovely color when grilled and makes them tender.  I also decided to rice up a head of cauliflower that I had in the veggie bin and make steamed cauliflower rice with dinner.


Of course, I only thought to take a photo halfway through the meal,  D'oh.  So the photo is of the individual chops after grilling.  The one of the far left shows some of the crustiness that the grill provided on the fat cap and the one on the far right shows that I did a good job of keeping them rosy pink on the inside.!  Yeah, me!

Below are the remains of the asparagus and the riced cauliflower.  I used a box grater to shred it up rather than a food processor because I was lazy, but then did really like the texture of the finished product!

Asparagus were oiled and sprinkled with salt and pepper then lightly grilled.

Dateline: March 26, 2021 Grilled Rack of Lamb

I was pawing through the freezer and found a rack of lamb.  It was a beautiful day, so it was grilling time.  I marinated the lamb, after cutting a slit between the bones, with a puree of preserved lemons, garlic, and red finger peppers.  This was rubbed all over the rack, front and back, and it was put to the side while I made a salad.

The rack was put on a hot grill along with half of a red cabbage that I found in the fridge.  I closed the lid, and let it go for about 6-8 minutes, then flipped it over to the bone side, closed the lid and let it go for another 5 minutes.  Tested the temp, bingo, for me, 130°F and I pulled everything off the grill.

Cut the rack into lamb chops and served it up.  Yummers!


 Nota Bene:  The red cabbage was fabulous.  Sweetly charred and cooked through.
