Trimming Rack of Lamb will improve the flavor!

May 19, 2010 3 Comments
My favorite red meat of all time is lamb.
Top of my list?
Rack of lamb.
If you are like me and find lamb particularly delightful, you most likely have picked up a rack or two from your local butcher and prepared them yourself.
I purchase my rack of lamb from Sams Club.  The price is right (two racks for approximately $14), it is fresh from New Zealand, and I have never been disappointed in the taste.
In fact, my husband who is definitely is NOT a lamb fan… absolutely loves my rack of lamb and has remarkably remarked, “this is just as good as filet mignon.”  Bingo!

Here is my quick food tip of the day:

Always, always, always trim away every piece of fat and sinew from your rack of lamb.
Removing every trace will tremendously add to the tenderness of your meat and removes any unpleasant “lamby” taste.
You know the baaaaaaaaa-d taste I am talking about (sorry for the pun).
If you have never experienced rack of lamb or would like to know how to prepare it, drop me a comment and let me know!  I’d be glad to share!

    Curious about the purple glove? I had cut myself using a brand new knife the day before. 🙁

Next, I toasted sourdough bread and covered it with the bean broth and topped with two froached eggs (fried + poached) and yep, you guessed it! Added a fresh touch of chopped parsley and some parmesan.⁠

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
