re: How do you cook rack or lamb and leg of lamb?

cook either in the oven or the rack on the grill. I season a frenched rack with a little olive oil, salt and pepper and maybe some pesto rubbed in good then grill until medium rare over medium heat, about 10-12 minutes depending on heat or about 16 minutes in a 350 oven. Cover the exposed bones with aluminum foil or they will burn off. Remove from grill and cover with foil for 5-10 minutes.

Leg of lamb I season somewhat the same, and put in a roasting pan on a rack. Put some whole rosemary and thyme on either side that has been dampened with water. Roast for 20 minutes at 500 degrees then turn oven to 300 and roast until medium rare. Remove, cover with foil and let sit for 20 minutes.

Serve with roasted fingerling potatos and carrots, applesauce and hericot vert.

Use a meat thermometer if you have one. I use it on the roast but I can feel the rack and tell doneness but I do them about twice a month. I also like to slice the rack in two rib pieces. Makes them bigger and looks better.

Take the rack and slice; drizzle pesto on a plate and arrange the lolipops. Serve this with applesauce as well.

Or you can make a risotto to serve or even a good orzo. All go well with lamb.
