Indeed I am. What a great dinner. And the wine was fabulous.Picture perfect lamb AND a nice Amador Zin? You're living the dream!
These were Costco. I’d assume your Costco carries the same product?Love rack of lamb. It's hard to find down here so we've been ordering from wild fork. They look fantastic.
Back when I lived not to far from you in Knights Landing, we would get them from the Costco in Woodland. Now having moved to south Texas, closest Costco is in San Antonio about three hours away. We really miss Costco. And trader Joe's. And nugget. And having any option besides HEB. You should have seen the look I got the other day when a young lady asked if I needed help. I asked where I could find couscous. Well, let's just say it's not here. But luckily we have wild fork and thrive market that deliver so it all works out. But yeah, I'd love to see a Costco come to Corpus.These were Costco. I’d assume your Costco Carrie’s the same product?
I had to look up your location. Only 8,000 people! Wow! I don’t think I could live there. A little small from what I’m used to. I understand why you’re mail ordering the good stuff.Back when I lived not to far from you in Knights Landing, we would get them from the Costco in Woodland.

My next pull will be at 123° for even more pink. This was my best rack ever. Nice crusted seasoning. The indirect to around 90° and then searing and moving the rack to develop the crust without burning the rack. One more reason we rarely eat out anymore. The food and wine are better at home. Post your pics when you do yours.Brett you picked one of my top one foods to eat and grill. And yours looks to be done perfectly.
Excellent color and so juicy.
I got to cook this again soon, thank you for the inspriation

Dug that recipe up.Buddy, that’s my favorite cut of lamb! I have found the “Scotta Ditta” style from the “Union Square Cafe” cook book is truly amazing! It’s so good that when I went to NYC I had to go there to see if they had “secreted” something from the published recipe! They were FULLY, HONESTLY clear with that one!
I had seen Mario Batali do a very similar treatment and cannot recommend the “Method” more exuberantly!
I’ve got two racks in the freezer right now, I about due for a feast of MY liking!
If you’re buying at Costco, find the largest rack they have. This was just shy of 3#. I lightly trimmed the fat cap to create a more even cap layer. Gently score the cap but try to avoid scoring the meat. Hatch pattern on the score. Countertop dry brine with all seasonings for an hour is all it needs. Pull at 123°, tent and rest 5 minutes. After slicing the rack, very lightly add some finishing salt. Very lightly!Those look fantastic. I haven’t cooked a rack whole in years. Lately, I cut the chops off in singles and/or doubles and grill them as chops. I might have to try grilling the whole rack again.
Wow! That looks perfect Brett.SPG and some rosemary dust. Pressed into the scored fat cap after I trimmed it up some.
Just the wife and I for dinner. I get to enjoy as much of this as I’d like.

Will go indirect for a reverse sear and then build the crust.

And I just checked my storage. I had this 2019 at a recent tasting at Scott Harvey and I bought a case of it. I fully endorse this 2019! It will easily hold its own 9 years+ if you want to age some.
