Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS

4 x 220g lamb racks, frenched, cap off

8 small potatoes, peeled

cup milk, warmed

Charred lemon wedges, to serve

Char grilled vegetables

2 zucchini, sliced thinly lengthwise

1 red capsicum, trimmed, sliced into strips

1 small eggplant, sliced into thin discs

2 tbsp. finely chopped basil

2 tbsp. finely chopped oregano

2 cloves garlic, crushed

2 tbsp. olive oil

METHOD

1. Preheat oven to 200C and line a large oven tray with baking paper. Place racks on oven tray and brush 2 tablespoons of oil evenly over each rack; season to taste.

Roast for 25 minutes for medium or until cooked to your liking; rest for 15 minutes, covered loosely with foil before serving.

2. Meanwhile, boil potatoes in saucepan of boiling salted water for 30 minutes or until cooked.

Drain and transfer to a large heatproof bowl. Using a potato masher or ricer, mash potatoes with milk and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season to taste.

3. Preheat a lightly greased large char-grill pan or barbecue to high. Place zucchini, capsicum, eggplant, herbs, garlic and oil in a large bowl; season to taste and toss well to combine.

Cook capsicum for 5 minutes, turning frequently or until charred and cooked. Cook eggplant for 3 minutes each side until charred and cooked. Cook zucchini 2 minutes each side until charred and cooked.

4. Divide mash, char-grilled vegetables and lamb racks among plates. Serve with charred lemon wedges.

COOKING TIPS

A boned and rolled loin roast is a great alternative to the rack.

Try adding a spice rub or crumb.
