Tandoori Rack of Lamb With Japanese Eggplant

On-trend Asian spices give this rack of lamb a flavorful twist.

  • Chef Raymond Yakelis

Email article

Tender rack of lamb, served medium-rare, is always a crowd-pleaser. Yet it is also underutilized as a center-of-the-plate protein, according to Chef Raymond Yakelis. Here, Chef Yakelis adds tandoori spice and Middle Eastern ingredients for a flavorful take on rack of lamb.

Ingredients

LAMB RACK

EGGPLANT RELISH

POMEGRANATE SAUCE

HERB AND FETA SALAD

GARNISH

FOR THE LAMB RACK

  1. Cut lamb rack into two portions of four bones each. Then remove two bones on each portion, cleaning remainder.
  2. Rub lamb with olive oil and tandoori masala spice and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Sear lamb rack in hot skillet and finish in a 350°F oven until internal temperature of 125°F degrees.
  4. Remove and let sit for 5 minutes to firm up before slicing.

FOR THE EGGPLANT RELISH

  1. Heat a skillet with the olive oil blend and fry the eggplant, peppers, onions and garlic stir-fry style.
  2. Drain excess oil and toss with pomegranate molasses and mint, and season with salt and pepper.

FOR THE HERB AND FETA SALAD

  1. On a plate, mound the parsley, mint and scallions. Shingle the radish and cucumber on the plate. Finish with diced feta cheese.
