Ingredients
  • 1 kg rack of lamb
  • 50 ml olive oil

  • 5 stars of anise
  • 2 tsp cloves, grounded
  • 1 tsp cinnamon, grounded
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp curry powder
  • ⅓ tsp cardamom, grounded
  • ⅓ tsp anise, grounded
  • 10 black peppercorns
  • sea salt
Cooking method
  1. Trim the meat from fat and silver skin. Carve the meat into pieces with 2 bones each.
  2. Season the meat with salt, all the spices, pour over with olive oil, add rosemary. Rub marinade all over the meat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  3. Grill the meat for 10-15 minutes. To prevent the meat from burning, it should be periodically sprinkled with water, and the fire should not be allowed to ignite. Put the cooked meat in a bowl, cover, and let it rest for 4-5 minutes.
My tips and tricks
Chef Ivan, who knows everything about meat, says that you can cook a rack of lamb in a frying pan. Although, of course, you will lose the aroma of haze, summer cottage evening, and sweet leisure time with friends near the grill. But still, if you are determined, take a frying pan, fry the meat over high heat from all sides. Then reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for a further 10-15 minutes.
