What I did with it w/Qview

[dingle]

For starters, the night before I prepped the rack with approx 1/4 c. of each, balsamic vinegar and evoo. Added tbls worchester sauce, 2 cloves garlic, a few sprigs of thyme, and basil and a little lemon zest.

I then vacuum packed and left in fridge overnight.

Threw on a few of these buggers filled with creamcheese and crabmeat and added chives and parsley from the garden.

I smoked the rack of lamb over a bit of cherry wood at 225* until an internal temperature of 140* was reached. I then wrapped in foil and into the cooler until everything else was ready for plating. Cut the rack into sections of 2 ribs each.

All plated up and ready to eat.

Turned out really good. Juicy and tender. However next time I may just use salt, pepper, garlic and evoo and then smoke. Thanks for looking.

Looks real good dingle. I had bought 1/2 of the blue ribbon winner from the county fair a few years back and really enjoyed it. Now I want to get some more and smoke it. Ya done good, not overcooked.............PERFECT

 

[dingle]

Thanks Cloud! The wife thought it was too rare......NOT!

Looks good. I like your plan for the next time also. Keep it simple and let the lamb do the talking.

 

[dingle]

Thanks Fatback. I'm with ya on the keep it simple method. I think the balsamic and worchester took away from the flavor of the lamb. It was really good though.

Wow... that has to go on my list of things to smoke! Looks awesome!

 

[richtee]

Man, that looks very tasty. I have not had much lamb...first time I had it years back..I din't like it. I did have some grilled last year and it was awesome. Guess I need this on "the list"! Thanks for the info!

 

[dingle]

Thanks Richtee! If I had made a to-do list of just some things you have done my list would be too long!

I'm with Rich, only had it once and didn't like it but those pics make me want to try it again. Nice job.

How do you vac pack liquid???????????????????????????????

 

[dingle]

Make the bag extra long and hang it over the counter when sealing. Makes it harder for the liquid to reach the top.

If you plan on freezing it, freeze first then vac it. Makes it simple and easy. Beau
