Lamb - Rib Roast Dijon

"When selecting Lamb Racks (rib roast), allow at least 3 ribs per person. Racks are usually sold 6 to 8 ribs per roast. This recipe will have to be adjusted logically to accommodate more than two people. Serve with roasted root vegetables, rice pilaf or mashed garlic-potatoes. Suggested wines - Sauvignon-Shiraz or Sauvignon-Blanc (or both). For dessert, I would recommend a lime gelato, to aid digestion; or skip dessert and have another bottle of Sauvignon-Blanc and a selection of cheeses and fresh fruit."

  1. Easy, prepare ahead and pop in the oven 30 minutes before dinner - the flavor is excellent. I did one serving 4 ribs so only needed apprx 1/4 cup of crumbs - i pressed the crumbs well into the mustard and they adhered perfectly. The flavor from the crumbs and dijon compliment the lamb . This recipe goes straight into my Company cook book - Thank-you Toolie for another winner
     
  2. This recipe got a 5* star rating from everyone who shared the dinner I prepared for my son's birthday! I had 2 racks, 8 ribs each - I doubled the recipe; added some finely chopped fresh rosemary and 1 tablespoon of melted butter to the crumb mixture then spread it on top of the lamb. Roasted to an internal temperature of 155, it was a perfect!! Another winner Toolie!

<p>Gone, but not Forgotten. Where is she? someone asked. Not far was the loud response. Certainly not hiding in a large roasting pan, although I do have one about the size of a hog. <br /> <br />If I don't do this now, I never will, and if I never will, who will tell me if I am any good at the literature game? I am taking some time off to concentrate on writing a book...and you people have been distracting me. Oh yeah, sez you... What kinda book? Well, one with about 200 pages, give or take a dozen or so... maybe 300 who knows? Everyone knows Toolie has a lot to say at the best of times. <br /> <br />A DIY book??? Naaahhh, I'll leave that to the real mechanics at Canadian Tire and Home Depot. <br /> <br />A Recipe Book? Yeah, Right!!!! Like I would compete with this site or any other... Not in this lifetime... I have a tough enough time competing with some of you chefs, so I just don't, and won't. <br /> <br />Oh sure, I will cook some of your recipes, for special occasions. Pictures? Who knows? but don't hold your breath. Posting in the forums? Perhaps, but not on a regular basis... Posting recipes??? from time to time.... <br /> <br />Why hang around, you say? Because I wanna keep my terrific handle. There is only one TOOLBELT DIVA folks... Dat Be Me! <br /> <br />Remember, be careful what you say, you might find yourself in the second paragraph of page 150, or thereabouts. <br /> <br />In October, 2007 my youngest sister, Marie lost her battle with ALS. In her memory, therefore, I post the following: <br /> <br />SISTERS <br /> <br />Time passes. Life happens. Distance separates. Jobs come and go. Love waxes and wanes. Hearts break. Parents die. Careers end. Life happens ... <br /> <br />BUT...... Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between you. <br /> <br />When you have to walk beside one dear to you in that lonesome valley, the women in your life will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf. <br /> <br />They will walk beside you, share your sorrow and share your tears, knowing all the while God is there with you, to give you the strength and faith you need and the everlasting blessings of healing love. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE HAPPEN IN THE WORLD (M. Gandhi) <br /> <br />IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO BECOME WHAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE (Georges Eliot) <br /> <br />THAT WHICH WE PERSIST IN DOING BECOMES EASIER, NOT THAT THE TASK ITSELF HAS BECOME EASIER, BUT THAT OUR ABILITY TO PERFORM IT HAS IMPROVED. (Ralph Waldo Emerson) <br /> <br />Have fun everyone! Remember, look out for the guy in back of the guy in front of you!!!</p>
