Roast Rack of Lamb with Natural Jus

This classic roast rack of lamb with natural jus is a sophisticated choice for any occasion, offering a succulent and flavourful alternative to heavier roasts. By roasting the meat on a bed of lamb trimmings, you create a deeply savoury foundation for an authentic sauce that relies on natural reduction rather than thickeners. This technique ensures the finished dish remains light and elegant while highlighting the premium quality of the meat.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this recipe focuses on high-quality protein and a clean, carb-free jus. It is an excellent option for those following a heart-healthy or low-sugar diet without compromising on the luxury of a home-cooked Sunday lunch. Serve this tender lamb with a side of steamed seasonal greens or roasted root vegetables for a perfectly balanced and nutritious meal.

Ingredients for Roast Rack of Lamb with Natural Jus

  • 1 american rack of lamb or 2 new zealand racks of lamb

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • trimmings from the rack or 450g (450 grams) lamb stew meat cut into 1/2-inch (1 cm) pieces

  • broth or water as needed

How to make Roast Rack of Lamb with Natural Jus

  1. Season the lamb and allow it to come to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 232°C (230°C).

  2. Spread the lamb trimmings or stew meat over the bottom of a roasting pan just large enough to hold the rack and roast until lightly browned, about 30 minutes.

  3. Place the rack on top of the trimmings (this base of trimmings is called a fonçage) and slide into the oven. Roast until springy to the touch, about 25 minutes. Let rest, loosely covered with aluminum foil, for 15 minutes.

  4. Put the roasting pan on top of the stove and pour over a cup (250 milliliters) of broth. Bring to a boil and boil until a brown crust of caramelized juices forms on the roasting pan. Pour out any liquid fat floating on top. Deglaze again with a cup (250 milliliters) of broth and scrape up the juices. Repeat the caramelization as many times as practical before deglazing a final time. Pass the jus in a sauce boat at the table.
