Let’s Get Cooking with Chef John | Perfect rack of lamb

red wine

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic red wine

💰Cheaper: grape juice

Grape juice can mimic the sweetness of wine without alcohol.

rack of lamb

🥗Healthier: pork tenderloin

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Chicken thighs are more affordable and still flavorful.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and can be used for sautéing.

beef broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

Water with seasoning can reduce costs while adding flavor.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Rub the lamb with the olive oil.

Combine the salt, pepper, garlic, thyme, and coriander and press all over the lamb.

Place the rack in a pan.

Place on the middle rack of the oven and cook for 30 to 35 minutes, until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 130 degrees F.

Remove from the oven, transfer the roast to a rack, cover with aluminum foil and let the meat rest for 20 minutes.

While the meat is resting, add the sherry vinegar, mustard, and rosemary to the juices that accumulated in the pan while cooking. Stir to combine.

Taste and adjust seasoning, as needed. Serve the warm sauce with the rack.
