Walnut Encrusted Rack Of Lamb With Bleu Cheese Htipiti
From alisdhair 14 years ago
Ingredients
- 2 racks of lamb shopping list
- 1 cup of shelled walnuts (untoasted) shopping list
- ¼ cup of chopped flat leaf parsley shopping list
- 3 tbls. of flour shopping list
- olive oil shopping list
- salt and pepper shopping list
- FOR THE HTIPITI shopping list
- 6 oz. of soft well aged feta cheese shopping list
- 4 oz. of Stilton or other mellow variety of bleu cheese shopping list
- 2 tsp. of crushed Aleppo red pepper flakes shopping list
- ¼ cup of red wine vinegar shopping list
- 3-4 marinated artichoke hearts shopping list
How to make it
- 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.
