Rack of Lamb with Red Wine Sauce Recipe

What you'll need:

Serves: 4
Time: 35mins

Method

First

First of all, preheat your oven to 200C. You’ll want to heat up a heavy-bottomed, ovenproof frying pan until very hot, and add a dash of olive oil or butter. Fry the lamb, skin side down, for two minutes to seal the meat and slightly colour, then turn the lamb over and fry for another minute.

Second

Keep your lamb in the pan, and with another splash of olive oil roast for 12-14 minutes (if you want your lamb well done, then add another 4-5 minutes).

Third

Remove the lamb from the pan, and place somewhere warm. Put the pan back on the heat, and add the red wine - you want to stir this well, to deglaze the pan and get all those meat juices into the liquid. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then add the stock and bring to the boil. Stir well for another 2-3 minutes, until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

Fourth

Serve the lamb with your choice of vegetables, and drizzle well with the sauce. Delicious!
