Cat's away, the mice will.....eat lamb

[Rich G]

My wife is not very fond of lamb, so it is rarely eaten at our house. She's out of town with two of our children, so my oldest and I decided that tonight would be a good night to have some lamb. While I was liberating that salmon from CostCo, a nice rack of lamb jumped into the cart, too.....

I decided on a sous vide preparation mostly because my time for dinner prep was limited. Getting the lamb in a bag with some seasoning, and the water going is super simple, so all I needed after that was 30 minutes to get some coals hot when it was time to eat. Here is the lamb pre-bag with just salt and pepper:

....and, here she is after 2.5 hours in the bag at 130, added some dried thyme (wanted to go simple on this one, really wanted to taste the lamb!):

I did a strong pre-heat on the cast iron grate insert, and here's how the lamb looked after the flip (don't let the flames scare ya!):

Resting:

Sliced:

Plated:

My daughter and I enjoyed this meal together out in our newly renovated backyard (pics later), on a splendid evening (finally cooling down!) The lamb was tender, and delicious, making for a simple but special meal for the two of us (she goes off to college in the Fall, so I am relishing any 1:1 time I get with her.)

Thanks for lookin', keep on cookin'!

Excellent BBQ Rich. I especially love this shot (cuz I'm kinda a pyromaniac)

I'm not much of a lamb fan, but I know a great dish when I see one and that's a great dish.

Thanks, folks, I really enjoyed this one for both the meal, and the wonderful company!

Excellent BBQ Rich. I especially love this shot (cuz I'm kinda a pyromaniac)

Chuck, that was my favorite, too. I consider my BBQ addiction to be a constructive use of my predilection to pyromania!

I love those Racks of Lamb from Costco. I usually buy 2 or 3 at a time and freeze them. Terrific looking plate Rich and just know it was delicious!

 

[Robert-R]

Terrific! The lamb looks out of this world.
