Slow-Grilled Rack of Lamb with Mustard and Herbs
- 2 racks of lamb (2 1/2 pounds each), chine bones removed and excess fat trimmed
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 2 teaspoons chopped rosemary
- 2 teaspoons chopped thyme
- Caramelized Onion Jam, for serving
- Light a grill or preheat a grill pan.
- If using charcoal, let the coals burn until white, then push them to one side of the grill.
- Season the lamb with salt and pepper.
- Spread the meaty sides of the racks with the mustard and then press the parsley, rosemary and thyme onto the meat.
- Sear the racks of lamb over high heat, or directly over the coals, meaty side down, until they are nicely browned, about 6 minutes.
- Turn the racks so that they are leaning against each other with the bones pointing up and grill until the meaty sides are nicely browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
- Turn the racks bone side down and lower the heat to moderately low, or move the racks to the cooler side of the grill.
- Cover the grill and continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the meat registers 130 for medium-rare meat, about 20 minutes.
- Transfer the racks of lamb to a carving board and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Using a sharp slicing knife, carve the racks of lamb into chops and serve with the Caramelized Onion Jam.
