Spice-Crusted Roast Rack Of Lamb With Cilantro-Mint Sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons coriander seeds
- 1 1/2 tablespoons caraway seeds
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 (8 bone) rack lamb ribs
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 small bunches fresh mint
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 tablespoon agave nectar
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Heat a dry saucepan over medium-high heat. Add coriander, caraway, and cumin seeds; toast until smoky, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a mortar and pestle and roughly grind the spices together.
- Rub spices over both sides of the lamb; pat down to make a crust. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add lamb, fat-side down. Cook, flipping halfway, until both sides are browned, about 5 minutes. Immediately transfer the skillet to the oven.
- Roast lamb in the preheated oven until no longer red in the center, about 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove from oven and let rest, about 5 minutes.
- Combine mint, cilantro, lime juice, agave nectar, vinegar, and garlic in a food processor. Season with salt and pepper. Process until finely chopped. Slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup olive oil while blending to make the sauce.
- Slice the rack of lamb. Spoon the mint and coriander sauce over each serving.
