I was going through some old cookbooks last night. Ran across one I bought
in 1979 at (of all places) a Hallmark card shop. It's called 'Celebrate the
Four Seasons Cookbook'. I came across a great photo of glazed racks of
lamb.

Ever since I saw that episode of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" last
Friday, where they cut racks of lamb into chops and grilled them, I've been
jonesin' for some lamb. I realize this is not the right time of year to get
good lamb. But that photo has my mouth watering

Glazed Lamb Racks

2 lamb racks, 8 chops each
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
3-4 cloves garlic
1 tsp. paprika
1 Tbs. dried rosemary
1/4 c. vegetable oil [I'd use olive]
2 Tbs. lemon juice
2 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. brown sugar

Have the butcher trim the excess fat and fell from lamb racks and also trim
away the top inch of meat and fat covering the bone (french the bones).
Score the remaining fat in a diamond pattern.

Mash salt, pepper, garlic and paprika into a paste. Combine with rosemary,
oil, lemon juice, Worcestershire and brown sugar. Rub mixture all over the
meat. Place lamb on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast in a preheated 325F
oven about 40 minutes for medium-rare, 1 hour for medium-well. Baste
occasionally with pan drippings. Let rest 10 minutes in a warm place before
carving.

They served this with Risi Bisi (roughly, rice prepared in chicken stock
with onion, then tossed with cooked green peas and grated Parmesan cheese)
and baked cherry tomatoes cut in half, drizzled with oil, seasoned with salt
& pepper and sprinkled with Parmesan baked with the lamb for 5 minutes.

If you are near a Whole Foods market, they have Icelandic lamb now.

Wow! I think there is a Whole Foods in Collierville. That's only about 20
minutes away. Thanks!

It might not be the right time in the grocery store, but I just bought a
whole lamb that will be going to the processor in about a week. Now I have
another recipe to try!

Someone forgot to tell Larry's Market here in Seattle that this wasn't a
good time for lamb. I got a shoulder roast for $2.97 a pound on
Wednesday and made a Moroccan tagine with it. Very tasty.
