Walnut Encrusted Rack Of Lamb With Bleu Cheese Htipiti Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Alisdhair / All my dishes 2 months, 3 weeks ago Htipiti is a Greekish meze in which soft cheeses such as aged feta and/or anthotyri are whipped together with spices and various piquant vegetables. But this one is new and blue and probably better with the ewe! Prep:30m Cook:30m Servings:4	Alisdhair

Ingredients

2 racks of lamb

1 cup of shelled walnuts (untoasted)

¼ cup of chopped flat leaf parsley

3 tbls. of flour

Olive oil

Salt and pepper

FOR THE HTIPITI

6 oz. of soft well aged feta cheese

4 oz. of Stilton or other mellow variety of bleu cheese

2 tsp. of crushed Aleppo red pepper flakes

¼ cup of red wine vinegar

3-4 Marinated artichoke hearts

Directions

FOR THE LAMB: Cut the racks in half, trim off the excess fat and clean the bones.

Place the walnuts in a food processor along with the flour and chop them to the consistency of a coarse sand. Finely chop the parsley and add it to this. Rub the lamb racks with olive oil on the side where the fat cap was and then coat that side with the walnut breading.

Sear the lamb in more olive oil on the crusted side taking care not to let it get burnt or too deeply browned. Finish in the oven to the desired temp. I, as usual, find it sinful to eat lamb rackloin above med-rare.

FOR THE HTIPITI: Chop the artichokes into a fine pulp. Heat the vinegar and let the pepper flakes rehydrate themselves in it. Drain off the excess vinegar and add the pepper and artichoke to the feta and mix well. Crumble the Stilton and gently fold it in.

TO SERVE: I have served this dish with some roasted potatoes seasoned with garlic and to which were added some smoked bacon (this balances the bleu cheese) and a fresh salad of Arugula and of all things lamb’s lettuce - tossed in a tangerine vinaigrette. Put the Htipiti into a piping bag and set a few puffs around the Lamb on the plate.
