Pistachio Encrusted Rack Of Lamb
November 24th 2009 04:19
Pistachio nuts are native to the Mediterranean and Middle East and are now grown commercially in the United States and Australia. These highly nutritious culinary nuts are actually a seed, botanically speaking.
In the following recipe and step by step pictures I combine pistachios with another Middle Eastern speciality, lamb. A rack of lamb is a premium cut of meat that is easy to cook and looks spectacular. It is guaranteed to impress your guests at any special occasion.
Ingredients
1 Lamb rack
100g Pistachio nuts
1sprig Rosemary
10g Breadcrumbs
Method
Trim some of the excess fat off the rack.
Coarsely chop the pistachios and spread them on a plate.
Finely chop the rosemary and add it, the breadcrumbs, salt and pepper to the nuts.
Roll the lamb in the mixture to coat all sides.
Bake at 175°c for 35 minutes for pink lamb or 45 minutes for fully cooked meat.
Allow the rack to stand for several minutes before carving.
