RACK OF LAMB AU NATUREL

Ingredients for 2 portions:

1 larger rack of lamb,
1 sprig fresh rosemary,
pinch of thyme,
1/2 tsp. salt and pepper to taste,
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil,
1 tbsp. butter,
1 tsp. balsamic vinegar.
For Balsamic-honey-ginger reduction:
2 oz. balsamic vinegar,
1 teaspoon honey,
the tip of a teaspoon with ginger powder.

Recipe:

1. Cut the rack of lamb to individual chops and marinate them with 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon oil, salt, pepper, rosemary and thyme.

2. Heat the butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a frying pan and brown the lamb chops on both sides and then finish them in a preheated oven to the desired doneness.

3. For the balsamic-honey-ginger reduction, combine the ingredients in a pan and reduce until thick and bubbly.

4. Drizzle reduction over the ready lamb.

I served the rack of lamb for this photo with caramelized plantain, spring mix salad, okra and star-shaped polenta. If you want to see my recipe for polenta, please visit this page.
