Ingredients:
  • 2 racks of lamb (6 cutlets each), fat trimmed from the bones
  • 1.25 gm ground cumin
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 30g (1 1/2 tbsp) butter, at room temperature
  • 2 (about 300g) zucchini
  • 1 small (about 350g) celeriac
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) vegetable liquid stock
  • 70g kalamata olives
  • 40.00 ml drained bottled capers
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C. Cut each rack of lamb in half to form four 3-cutlet racks. Combine cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper in a small bowl. Rub the lamb racks all over with the spice mixture and place in a medium roasting pan. Dot with half of the butter and roast in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes for medium doneness or until cooked to your preference. Remove from the oven, loosely cover with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  • Quarter the zucchini lengthwise and then cut into 1.5cm pieces. Peel the celeriac and cut it into 1.5cm pieces.
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat the remaining butter. Add celeriac and garlic, cook for 1 minute while stirring. Pour in the stock, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 4 minutes. Add zucchini and olives, cook for an additional 4 minutes until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Take the vegetables off the heat and gently fold in the capers. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Plate the vegetable mixture elegantly, layer the lamb racks on top, and serve promptly.
