Oven-Roasted Rack Of Lamb With Harissa-Rhubarb Chutney
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 tablespoons harissa
- 4 cups 1/2-inch cubes fresh rhubarb (about 1 1/2 pounds)
- 1 Frenched rack of lamb
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- fresh parsley sprigs for garnish
- Combine first 8 ingredients in heavy large Dutch oven. Bring to simmer over low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add rhubarb, onion, and dried cherries; increase heat to medium-high and cook until rhubarb is tender and mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Cool completely. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.)
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Sprinkle lamb with cumin and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, place chops in the skillet and sear until golden-brown, about 2 minutes on each side.
- Remove the chops from the skillet and place them on the rack of a broiling pan. Roast chops 10-12 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the chops without touching the bone registers 135 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit for medium rare. Brush with chutney and cook another 2 minutes. Serve with remaining chutney.
- Enjoy!
