Ingredients:
- 1/2 rack of lamb
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon rosemary
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1-2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon mint jelly
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Rack: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Season your rack of lamb with rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper, ensuring each side is evenly coated with the aromatic herbs.
-
Roasting the Lamb: Place the seasoned rack in an open ovenproof pan and roast for approximately 20-25 minutes, adjusting the time based on the thickness of the rack. Keep an eye on it to achieve your desired level of doneness.
-
Prepare the Glaze: While the lamb is roasting, melt the mint jelly with minced garlic and dried parsley in a small saucepan over low heat. Allow the flavors to meld together, creating a tantalizing glaze for the lamb.
-
Apply the Glaze: Once the lamb has roasted for the initial time, remove it from the oven. Carefully pour the prepared mint glaze over the rack, ensuring it’s evenly distributed for maximum flavor infusion.
-
Final Roasting: Return the glazed rack of lamb to the oven and continue roasting for approximately 10 minutes more, or until the internal temperature reaches 160-165 degrees Fahrenheit for a perfect medium-rare to medium finish.
-
Serve: Once cooked to your desired level of doneness, remove the rack of lamb from the oven. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing. The result? Tender, succulent lamb with a hint of minty sweetness, perfect for a memorable solo dining experience.
