STUFFED RACK OF LAMB

Steps:

• Clean some of the fat and silver skin from lamb. Season with sea salt and black pepper. (lamb should be at room temperature before roasting)
• Place lamb meat side down in hot saute pan and allow the meat to sear well, then turn it over and sear the other side. Set aside until ready to stuff
• Saute spinach until it starts to wilt, then add the tomato halves and continue to saute for a minute, then add the chopped scallions and garlic and saute for another minute.
• Remove the spinach mixture from the heat and allow to cool.
• After the spinach mixture has cooled down a bit, place the mixture in a strainer and squeeze out as much of the liquid as possible in the strainer.
• Place the spinach mixture into a mixing bowl and add the bread crumbs, cheese, and egg. Mix well and season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
• Take half the mixture and place it in the little gully between the high part of the lamb rack and the bones. Mound the stuffing evenly distributing on the top of the rack of lamb.
• Repeat the process with the other rack, then season them both with a teaspoon of Montreal brand beef seasoning (or just cracked black pepper and sea salt) then sprinkle the meat with a little of the panko bread crumbs.
