As the holiday season approaches, it's time to unveil a show-stopping centerpiece for your festive table — this Roasted Rack of Lamb with Butter Sauce. This Low-carb holiday roast brings an indulgent touch to your holiday main dish. Let the succulence of perfectly roasted lamb coupled with the richness of buttery sauce define your holiday feast.
Preheat your oven to 425F/220C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Allow the rack of lamb to come to room temperature. In a bowl, mix 1 tsp of black pepper, 1 tsp salt, chicken stock powder, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Rub the spice mix all around the rack of lamb. Transfer it to the lined baking sheet. Add 8 garlic cloves and the thyme sprigs on and around the rack of lamb.
Cut the butter into cubes and place them over the lamb. Transfer to the oven and roast for at least 25 minutes – for medium rare. You can use a food thermometer for precise results.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, 3 minced garlic cloves, mustard, paprika, chili flakes, ½ tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Roughly chop the shallot, parsley, and 2 tsp of thyme and mix them in.
Remove the rack of lamb from the oven and transfer to a chopping board. Cover with foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Turn the rack of lamb upside down and cut between the ribs using a sharp knife.
Arrange the meat on a serving platter with the roasted garlic cloves. Pour the butter sauce into a bowl and place it on the platter. Garnish with more thyme sprigs and serve!
