Food
One of our favourite cuts of meat and our Executive Chef Fran Martinez agrees. We think you'll love this one, Fazendeiros, it makes for a unique creation to share at home.
However, I do also enjoy English lamb, so your local butcher should be able to provide you with a delightful lamb rack to use for this recipe.
For this recipe, since the meat I'm using is Argentinian, I wanted to combine it with ingredients that are used within chimichurri to create a crust for the lamb. It not only looks amazing, but it also helps to give you a very tender, well-cooked meat.
It is sure to impress your guests, Fazendeiros.
250g of bread crumbs
1/2 bunch of parsley
1/4 bunch of rosemary
1/4 bunch of mint
1 red chilli
2 garlic cloves
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp black pepper
2 tbsp sunflower oil
2.With the help of a food processor, combine all of the other ingredients for the recipe, and mix them in the processor for around 2 minutes. After this, you should be greeted by a bright-green crumble, with an explosion of aromas and a really fresh taste.
Pour this mixture out into a baking tray, and brush the lamb with either oil or melted butter, as this will help the crust stick better to the meat. Coat the lamb with the crumble mixture in the baking tray, until it is completely covered.
All we need to do now is put the lamb back in the oven. We need to do this at 190°C for 15 minutes for a pink medium-rare result, or 20 minutes if you prefer your meat cooked medium.
I like to bring the whole rack to the table, so I can slice off the cutlets in front of my guests. At home, I keep the sides simple by simply serving it with potatoes!
You can also see a video of the steps on our YouTube channel.
