Red Wine Balsamic Lamb Rack Pot Roast With Crushed Potato Recipes

RACK OF LAMB WITH ROSEMARY ROASTED POTATOES AND SHALLOT VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Roast the potatoes on a flat sheet pan until almost cooked through, approximately 20 minutes. Allow the potatoes to cool at room temperature for 20 minutes, or until they can be easily handled.
• With a paring knife, remove the skins of the potatoes without cutting into the potato itself. Place the peeled potatoes into a bowl. Combine the oil and rosemary. Place half of the mixture into the bowl of potatoes and toss. Season with salt and pepper. Return the potatoes to the sheet pan. Rub the lamb with the remaining half of the oil and rosemary mixture. Season with salt and pepper. In a heated saute pan, or on a hot grill, sear the loins on all sides. Place the potatoes and lamb in the preheated oven (on separate pans).
• Combine seasoned rice wine vinegar and minced shallots in a small bowl.
• When internal temperature of the lamb is 120 degrees, remove the lamb and let it rest for about 5 to 7 minutes. When lamb has rested, the potatoes will be ready. Toss them in the oil in which they were cooked to prevent dryness and ensure even seasoning.
• Pour the juices from the lamb into the bowl containing the shallots and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. While constantly whisking, slowly pour in 1/4 cup of olive oil. To present, arrange the potatoes on plate, slightly off center. Use vegetables of your choice and place next to potatoes. Slice lamb into 4 equal-sized pieces. Fan the pieces using the bone for height in presentation. Drizzle with vinaigrette.

ROSEMARY RACK OF LAMB WITH CRUSHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Season lamb generously with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix together Dijon mustard, garlic and anchovy (or pound together in a mortar for a smoother texture). Stir in 3 tablespoons olive oil. Smear lamb all over with marinade and set aside.
• Meanwhile, boil potatoes until the tip of a paring knife meets no resistance, 10 to 15 minutes depending on size. When potatoes are done, drain, transfer to a roasting pan large enough to hold them in a single layer, and set aside to cool.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. With palms or the back of a wooden spoon, crush potatoes gently to crack open and slightly flatten. Sprinkle with salt, drizzle with about 2 tablespoons olive oil, and turn to lightly coat.
• Lay lamb racks on top of potatoes, with bones curving downward. Scatter rosemary over meat and potatoes. Roast, uncovered, until a meat thermometer registers 125 degrees (for medium-rare), about 20 minutes. (Cook to 135 degrees for medium.)
• Remove lamb to a cutting board and let rest, tented with foil. Return potatoes to oven and leave to roast 10 to 15 minutes more, until nicely crisped.
• Use a large chef's knife to slice the racks by cutting between the bones. (One rack will yield 4 thick chops or 8 thin ones). Transfer chops and potatoes to a warm platter, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

AWESOME RED WINE POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Brown the roast on all sides, about 10 minutes total; remove from the heat. Pour in the water and wine. Sprinkle with the basil, marjoram, thyme, salt, and pepper. Arrange the onion slices on the roast.
• Replace the cover and bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours. Add the potatoes, carrots, and pearl onions. Pour in additional water if the roast looks dry. Continue baking covered until the roast pulls apart easily with a fork, about 1 hour longer.

BALSAMIC POT ROAST WITH RED WINE GRAVY

Steps:

• Combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion power. Coat your roast with the seasonings.
• Brown the pot roast over medium heat in pan. Brown on all sides (should take 5-7 minutes total). Do not clean your pan yet!
• Add sliced raw onion to bottom of crockpot. Place browned meat into crockpot too.
• In pan you just browned the meat in, add tomato sauce, balsamic vinegar, and beef stock. Simmer for 10 minutes or until reduced by half. Pour sauce over roast in crock pot. Juice should come partially up the roast but not cover it. As it cooks, the roast will release more juice.
• Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
• Remove roast from crockpot and lightly shred with a fork. Save all the juice from the crockpot to use in your gravy!
• In a pan over medium-low heat, melt butter and whisk in flour. Cook on low for several minutes, whisking continuously until your rue is a golden brown color.
• Deglaze the pan with your red wine. Make sure you continuously whisk!
• Add in your roast juices 1 cup at a time. I typically end up adding about 3 cups of the liquid. Bring gravy to a low simmer and continue whisking. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until desired consistency.
• Top your roast with the gravy and enjoy! I put mine on a toasted ciabatta roll. YUM!

RED WINE & BALSAMIC LAMB RACK POT ROAST WITH CRUSHED POTATO

Steps:

• For Pot Roast:.
• In a large heavy bottom pot, heat 2 - 3 tbsp of olive oil.
• Place lamb racks in fat down and leave for 4 - 5 minutes or until golden brow & caramelised.
• Turn and seal all sides of the rack.
• Throw in garlic cloves whole and bay leaves then add about 1 cup of the red wine vinegar and the balsamic vinegar and the red wine, keep over high heat. Use some aluminium foil and place inside the pot covering the roast but allowing some steam to escape around edges. Be careful, the fumes from the vinegar can really take your breath away!
• Cook over high heat for about 45 minutes but keep a close eye on it, do not allow to boil dry, use the remainder of the bottle of red wine vinegar to ensure it does not boil dry. The vinegar and fat from the lamb will emulsify and create a lovely rich thick sauce.
• Potato Crush.
• Boil potatoes skin on until cooked, drain and add about 1 tbsp butter and 1/2 cup milk and the spinach, using something solid like end of rolling pin crush the potatoes. Don't use a masher as you don't want to mash them too much. After crushing just stir to make sure spinach and butter is stirred though, season with P&S to taste.
• Also great served with broccolini on side.
• When you cut the rack it should still be a little rare drizzle a little of the sauce on the cutlets before serving and a garlic clove or 2 and a bay leaf on each looks great too.

ROAST RACK OF LAMB WITH ROSEMARY AND MEMBRILLO AIOLI AND RUSTIC ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• I love this recipe, my good friend the Australian cook, Maggie Beer from the Barossa Valley, made this Membrillo Aioli when she stayed at the Cookery School a few years ago.
• For the aioli: Put the chopped rosemary into a little saucepan with 3 tablespoons of oil and warm gently for 2 or 3 minutes, careful not to burn. Keep aside.
• Put the egg yolks into a bowl with the mustard, salt, and the white wine vinegar and add the crushed garlic. Put the oil into a measuring cup. Take a whisk in one hand and the oil in the other and drip the oil onto the egg yolks, drop by drop, whisking at the same time. Within a minute you will notice that the mixture is beginning to thicken. When this happens you can add the oil a little faster, but don't get too cheeky or it will suddenly curdle because the egg yolks can only absorb the oil at a certain pace. Taste and add a little more seasoning and vinegar, if necessary.
• If the mayonnaise curdles it will suddenly become quite thin, and if left sitting the oil will start to float to the top of the sauce. If this happens you can quite easily rectify the situation by putting another egg yolk or 1 to 2 tablespoons plus 1 to 2 teaspoons of boiling water into a clean bowl. Then whisk in the curdled mayonnaise, a half teaspoon at a time, until it emulsifies again.
• Chop the membrillo and warm gently in a little saucepan until it melts. Cool and add to the mayonnaise with the rosemary and oil. Taste and correct seasoning.
• For the lamb: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F/220 degrees C/gas mark 7. Score the skin of the lamb, you may like to insert a few tiny sprigs of rosemary and slivers of garlic here and there on the skin side. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, depending on the age of the lamb and the degree of doneness required.
• Allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Carve, allowing 2 to 3 cutlets per person, depending on size. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary and serve with the Rosemary and Membrillo Aioli.
