Herbs de provence rack of lamb

[Sowsage]

So ive been wanting to do rack of lamb for forever! I baught 3 racks not to long ago and with the help of everyone here i got a pretty good idea of flavors to go with it . I decided i would salt and pepper and then herb de provence. For those not familiar with herbs de provence its a mix of herbs incuding lavender. I have used it with pork several times and i knew it would work perfect with the lamb. For sides we had acorn squash on the smoker and the wife made broccoli salad. Here is the run down.....


Lamb

Trimmed the fat first.Then the salt, pepper and herb de provence

The acorn squash got rubbed down with olive oil and salt and pepper. Once they get soft on the smoker ill flip them over and fill them with some butter and brown suger and let them cook a little longer

I took the lamb off the smoker at an IT of 110° then seared it on the gas grill to crust up a bit . Final IT was 137° . I wrapped it up and let it rest before slicing.

Then i made a sauce using cherry preserves some water and some apple cider vinegar. All put on the plate and ready to eat.

It was all really really good! This is the first time ive cooked rack of lamb and i was very happy with it! Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks! Yes the sauce went very well with it! The apple cider vinegar added that tang to it that really set it off!

That looks absolutely fantastic. Really well executed roast.

Admittedly I’m having a hard time combining herbs de provence and wood smoke mentally but my interest is piqued. May do some experimenting with that combo.

Thank you! And your right i was worried about that myself. I think next time ill do as a marinade instead of the herbs rubbed on the outside. I think ill get more of the herb flavor. I did try and stay light on the herbs though. Definitely something to play around with. All that said it was really delicious but everything can be improved on. Thanks again!

Thanks. I had no idea how it would be. A little different for me. The racks are so small i never took an eye off it. Didnt want to over cook!

Wow! That looks mouthwatering good! The thought of the cherry reserve sauce over the lamb makes my mouth pucker.

I like using herbs de provence when grilling and smoking chicken.

That all looks awesome, my mother has mad plating skills but that gene skipped me. So I learned to over due the rustic look with my platings. I have more of the redneck plating style.

Looks super yummy, Where do you get herb de provence? I have used it for years since my step Mother is from Paris France. when ever she goes or any of our extended family sends anything from France we find away to get some a batch of these great spices. Thankfully my step Mom just came back from France from a short visit and sent me some ( thanks Mom ) Have you ever used the real France version of this and compared it to the stuff available in the USA. I never thought to try and find it here. this thread made me look and I was surprised to find it so readily available which makes me wonder is there any difference in taste or quality?
will upload pictures of what my Mom sent me this time
