I've been converted to a lamb lover, thanks to the Lamb Queen (Little Chef). Last night I made a rack of lamb. Marinated it in a Pinot Noir marinade and served it with some creamy whipped potatoes and asparagus parmigano.
Everything turned out fantasatic, can't wait to make this meal again.
The ingredients
Can't forget the balsamic
Del cooked the asparagus on the small, while I did the lamb on the large. Great job sweetheart!
Used the spider and gave the lamb a 2 min. sear on each side.
Put the adustable rig in and finished cooking raised direct at 350 degrees, turning every 5 mins. until it reached and internal temp of 122 degrees (med rare).
Finished and resting.
Plated
The pinot noir marinade was faboulous. Really compliments the lamb.
Grilled Rack of Lamb with Pinot Noir Marinade (enough for 3 racks)
2 cups of a good quality Pinot Noir
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary
2 tbsp. minced garlic
2 tsps. good-quality balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp. coarse salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground peppper
In a large bowl, combine the ingredients and marinate the lamb about 2 hours in a large ziploc bag. Be sure to turn the bag frequently while it's marinating.
This is my favorite way to prepare and serve fresh Spring asparagus. It's so simple and so good.
Asparagus Parmigano
2 pounds asparagus
Extra virgin olive oil
Coarse salt or sea salt
Coarsely ground black pepper
Balsamic vinegar (a good aged one)
Parmigian-Reggiano cheese
Brush the asparagus with olive oil, salt & pepper and grill direct about 5 min. or till crisp tender.
When done take a vegetable peeler and shave curls off the Parmigian-Reggiano cheese over the top and drizzle the tips with the balsamic.

That looks fantastic, Anne. And, what a great presentation!
I'm a recent convert to lamb also, having been raised on mutton. I swore I'd never eat anything again that says "baaaaa".__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious -

Looks fantastic! I'll have to add that to my list of things to try. I frequently grill asparagus as it's one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing the marinade recipe.

Wow Anne, super impressive. I hope you had some Pinot left for your glass to enjoy with the meal.
Great Job! -
Looking very good, Anne.

That looks fantastic, Anne. That would be top $$$ in a restaurant. Isn't it fun being able to accomplish that at home?

Jon, the marinade was absolutely the best I've ever had with lamb.

I'm with you on cooking at home. Especially since the weather has been beautiful in Wisconsin. You're spoiled in FL.

Honestly Kim, I never touched lamb before LC made it for Norma and I in Atlanta. Rack of lamb is the only lamb I eat. The leg is strong tasting to me. You should give this one a try, you'll love it.

I'm sure you'll love that recipe. The lamb just melts in your mouth.
