BBQ RACK OF LAMB RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/gas 5.
  2. Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender, then drain. Meanwhile, squeeze the seeds from the tomatoes, and destone the olives.
  3. Heat a lug of oil in a large frying pan over a high heat, add the lamb rack and sear until golden, then remove to a plate.
  4. Crush the drained potatoes and tip into the frying pan, then fry for a couple of minutes over a medium-low heat.
  5. Stir in the tomatoes and olives, then season with sea salt and black pepper. Pick in the rosemary, scatter over the unpeeled garlic cloves, and drizzle with a little oil. Transfer to a roasting tray.
  6. Place the lamb on top of the potatoes. Depending on the size of the racks, the lamb will take somewhere between 20 and 30 minutes to cook, but will still be pink in the middle – use your instincts (add 5 to 10 minutes if you like your meat well done).
  7. When the lamb is cooked to your liking, slice it into chops and serve with the crispy potatoes. Delicious served with a little salsa verde or an extra drizzle of oil.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine Marinade Mixture ingredients. Add lamb shanks and coat well. Set aside and allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
• Once 30 minutes have elapsed, add 1/4 cup olive oil to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTÉ function.
• When oil gets hot, brown the meat on all sides, 3-4 minutes per side. Meat will not be cooked through. Do not crowd the pot--you may have to work in batches. Transfer browned meat to a shallow dish and cover loosely with foil.
• Add onion, carrots, bay leaves and remaining marinade to the pot and Sauté until onions are soft, 4-5 minutes.
• Add wine to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot, then simmer and reduce by half (about 10 minutes).
• Add warmed broth and return the meat to the pot, turning once to coat.
• Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL , then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
• Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 30 minutes.
• When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release (about 15-20 minutes).
• Carefully remove the meat from the pot and cover loosely with foil, reserving juices.
• Strain liquid and return to pot, discarding solids. In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch and cold water. Stir into the pot until thickened, returning to SAUTÉ mode as needed.
• Serve lamb topped with gravy alongside mashed white or sweet potatoes, noodles or rice. Garnish with chopped parsley.
