Colorado Rack Of Lamb Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Rack of Lamb

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the rack of lamb with salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Sear the lamb on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes.

2. 2

   Roast the Lamb

   Transfer the seared lamb to a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C).

3. 3

   Prepare Polenta Fries

   While the lamb is roasting, cook polenta according to package instructions. Once thickened, pour into a greased baking dish and let it cool to set. Once set, cut into fries and bake in the oven for 20 minutes until crispy.

4. 4

   Sauté Asparagus and Mushrooms

   In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté minced garlic, cremini mushrooms, and asparagus for 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Make Dijon Mustard Cream

   In a small saucepan over low heat, combine heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Stir until smooth and warm, about 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Serve

   Slice the rack of lamb and serve alongside crispy polenta fries, sautéed asparagus and mushrooms, drizzled with Dijon mustard cream.
