PANIOLO RACK OF LAMB
Because the lamb in this recipe is marinated
in a barbecue-style sauce and then grilled,
the hotel nicknamed the dish "paniolo",
which means "cowboy" in hawaiian.
For marinade
1 tablespoon fermented black beans
6 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce (preferably low-salt)
3 tablespoons medium-dry Sherry
2 tablespoons Asian sesame oil
1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
1 teaspoon Asian chili paste
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons freshly grated orange zest
2 frenched racks of lamb, available by
request from butcher (about 1 1/2 pounds
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Make marinade:
Rinse black beans and pat dry. Chop beans
fine and in a bowl whisk together with
remaining marinade ingredients and salt and
pepper to taste.
In a large sealable plastic bag combine lamb
and marinade and seal bag, pressing out
excess air. Marinate lamb, chilled, turning
occasionally, 2 hours.
Prepare grill and preheat oven to 400°F.
Remove lamb from bag and discard marinade.
Grill lamb on an oiled rack set 5 to 6
inches over glowing coals. turning, until
browned all over, about 5 minutes.
Transfer lamb, meat sides up, to a shallow
baking pan and roast in middle of oven 10
minutes. In a dry heavy skillet toast sesame
seeds over moderately high heat, stirring,
until fragrant and golden. Sprinkle lamb
with sesame seeds and roast 5 to 10 minutes
more, or until a meat thermometer registers
130°F. for medium-rare. Transfer lamb to
cutting board and let stand 10 minutes.
