Sticky pomegranate glazed lamb rack
Arabic 15 Mins Prep · 30 Mins Cook
- Preheat the oven to 220°C.
- Mix the oregano, 2 tbsp of olive oil, pomegranate molasses and fennel seeds together with the salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Spread half the mixture over the lamb and allow to marinate for 1 hour.
- Slice the fennel bulbs and leeks lengthways and scatter them across the bottom of a roasting tray.
- Drizzle with 1 tbsp of olive oil and season well.
- Heat a frying pan to a high heat and sear the rack of lamb, fat-side down until golden brown. Turn over and cook on the other side until browned.
- Place fat side up in the roasting tray with the fennel mixture. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the lamb registers 60°C for a medium-rare.
- To make the dill sauce, place the parsley, coriander, dill, garlic and lemon juice in a blender and blitz until smooth.
- Remove the lamb from the oven, baste with the remaining pomegranate mixture and cover with foil and allow to rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the lamb with the dill sauce and pomegranate rubies.
