It's quick, very simple to prepare and we enjoy this soft and pink meat, contrasted by this gourmet and fragrant crust. A superb balance of taste and texture.
TIPS
TWO GENERAL PRECAUTIONS BEFORE GRILLING OR ROASTING MEAT
For the meat to be really salty (it takes hours) and for there to be no temperature shock, make sure that:
The meat is salted on the surface several hours in advance (even the day before if large pieces). Keep it cool (plus if it dries out a little it will roast better.
Meat is at room temperature before cooking.
INGREDIENTS
2 racks of lamb
90 g semi-salted butter soft + slightly melted
30 g Parsley leaves
20 g basil leaves
20g fresh coriander
7 slices of bread
2 small garlic cloves
2 anchovy fillets
2 tbsp pistachio
Olive oil
Salt
Ingredients
Directions
Slightly cut the square on the fat side (white) and following the lines of the ribs. Salt and let rest in the fridge for three hours.
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
In a pan, place the lamb, fat side up (in contact with the pan). Sear for a few minutes over medium heat (the fat should brown slightly). When they come off easily, flip them over and cook the other side for 1 minute.
Place the lamb on a baking tray lined with baking paper, vertically, round side down. Water them with the meat juice for 12 minutes. Put aside.
PREPARE THE HERB CRUST: Blend the peeled garlic, the anchovies, herbs and the crumbled bread. Blend until you get a kind of coarse green powder.
Add the pistachios and mix again. Set aside two tablespoons of this breadcrumb. Add to this powder the soft butter and mix to obtain a sort of paste.
COOK THE RACK OF LAMB WITH THE CRUST: Brush the fatty surface of the lamb with melted butter and place the squares with the fatty side up (so lying down).
Place the herb crust on top, pressing well with a spoon (it must be compact and adhere well to the meat).
Increase the temperature of the oven, in the grill version, up to 250°C.
Put the meat in the oven again with its crust and cook for 2-3 minutes (just until the crust browns. Leave to rest for a few minutes then cut delicately (to prevent the crust from coming off) and serve.
