Rack of Lamb

King Trumpet Mushroom

Pecorino Whipped Ricotta

Method

Prepare the Rack of Lamb

  1. 1

    Season the Rack

    In a spice grinder, combine juniper berries, black peppercorns, and salt. Grind until fine. Rub the mixture all over the rack of lamb.

  2. 2

    Sear the Lamb

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the rack of lamb and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.

  3. 3

    Roast the Lamb

    Transfer the seared rack of lamb to a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) and roast for 15-20 minutes for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 57°C (135°F).

Prepare the King Trumpet Mushroom

  1. 4

    Cook the Mushrooms

    In the same skillet used for the lamb, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  2. 5

    Add Mushrooms

    Add the sliced king trumpet mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and tender. Add fresh thyme and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Make the Pecorino Whipped Ricotta

  1. 6

    Whip the Ricotta

    In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, grated pecorino cheese, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to whip the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.

Serve the Dish

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Once the lamb is done roasting, let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the rack into chops and serve on a plate with sautéed mushrooms on the side and a generous dollop of pecorino whipped ricotta.
