Rack of Lamb

I have done something similar before, but I don't get to do this very often. Wife and kids left town for the long weekend and I had to stay behind due to work....they don't like lamb and I do....so I am cooking lamb this weekend!!

Decided to cut the rack in half and cook it two different ways. First, put some potatoes, with Annies EVOO, fresh rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and desert gold on the MAK at 400°F:

Almost done:

Time to sear the racks. Front one had Annies EVOO, salt, pepper, rosemary and thyme. Back one just had salt and pepper for now. More later.

Started the Artichoke steaming:

Covered the salt and pepper one with dijon mustard and italian seasoned bread crumbs. Back on the MAK at 325°F until IT of 140°F;

I didn't get a picture of the artichokes on the grill, but after steaming, I cut in half, seasoned with Annies EVOO and Desert Gold, and grilled on the MAK. Lamb and Artichokes are done:

Made a tomato, fresh mozarella, and basil salad with EVOO and balsalmic vinegar:

All plated up...both types of lamb, potatoes, artichoke and salad:

I have to say this was real good and the mustard/bread crumb rack was better than the rosemary/thyme rack.

Fortunately, both my wife and I love lamb. I can't wait to cook a rack or two for us. I'll have to give the mustard bread crumb encrusted version a try. I usually just hit them with some Annie's and garlic salt and pepper.
