Rack of Lamb

Rack of Lamb

Make slits every 3 inches in the fat cover of a rack of lamb, and insert cloves of garlic. Rub lamb with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper, rub with a blend of aromatic herbs such as rosemary, thyme, mustard seed, mint (for example). Preheat oven to 450 - 500 degrees. Put roast in a roasting pan, put into oven, and sear the meat until a crust forms on the outside. (This will seal in the juices.) Reduce oven to 300 degrees to complete the cooking. For medium rare (140 degree internal temperature), approximately 20 min./lb. , or cook till internal temperature reaches desired degree of doneness.
Our French Rack of Lamb roasts continue to delight customers and chefs alike. We also have Lolli-chops available, which are single rib cuts.

Loin Chops

Lamb Chops Parmesan (a Russell family favorite)

Sprinkle 4 lamb chops (1 1/2 inch thick) with onion salt and pepper.
Grill or broil for 7 -8 minutes. Turn and grill or broil for an additional 5 to 8 minutes.

Combine: 3 Tbl. grated parmesan cheese
1/3 tsp. garlic powder
½ tsp. oregano
Sprinkle over the chops and cook 2 minutes longer, or until desired doneness (135-145 degrees)
Yes, they look like T-bone steaks, only smaller and so delicious! We cut them 1 ½” thick and they come two/package. (Click on the photo to see our favorite recipe for chops)

Lamb Shoulder

Instant-Pot Lamb Shoulder

Thaw a lamb shoulder roast, either bone-in or boneless. Press saute setting to pre-heat the cooker, when hot, add a swirl of olive oil. Sear the roast on all sides. Deglaze bottom of cooker with 1 cup water. Generously season roast with Salt, Pepper, and other seasonings of your preference. (lemon-pepper, rosemary, thyme, mustard seeds…) Add 1 tsp. balsamic vinegar, 2 cloves minced garlic, and onion slices. Use pressure cook setting for meat. I go through two pressure cook cycles to make the meat extra tender. After pressure is released, let meat sit for 15 min, then shred or slice. Skim fat from broth for use as a base for many uses.

*note – you can use a slow cooker as well. Sear the roast, add the ingredients, and slow cook for 10-12 hours.
We offer bone-in shoulder roasts, boneless shoulder roasts, and shoulder steaks. (2/pkg., cut 1” thick) This moist, delicately flavored selection is pictured as a boneless roast (click on it to get an Instant-Pot recipe for lamb shoulder)
