Mongolian Roast Lamb Rack 蒙古烤羊排



*in collaboration with Pure South

It's my family's tradition to feast on lamb over happy occasions such as Birthdays, Christmas, New Year etc. For many years, I'd been pan searing lamb chops because it's not easy to find whole lamb racks in markets and supermarkets near my place. This time, I'm grateful to Pure South for sending me 2 x lamb racks. It allowed me to do something different. I thought I might roast the whole lamb rack for a change. I made this dish 3 weeks ago. Tried and tested. This Mongolian Roast Lamb Rack 蒙古烤羊排 would not taste like Western lamb chops as I used a generous amount of Asian spices such as cumin, coriander, ginger, garlic, chilli powders and bean paste. Rest assured that the spices would not overwhelm. I was delighted that the spices and the lamb rack complemented each other in perfect harmony. I deliberately chose the slow roast method so that the spices would have more time to work its way to the meat. And my objective was to have the lamb rack 100% oven roast to my preferred medium at 60C internal temperature.

Were we impressed? The Mongolian Roast Lamb Rack 蒙古烤羊排 spun off endless conversations over our dining table. Taste was great and we couldn't have enough! But we were more amazed with the quality of the lamb rack, so much so that my family members were debating from whether the lamb rack was fresh or frozen (it's really that good that they couldn't tell), the age of lamb and climates that the lamb were farmed. Why? It's because the meat was almost melt-in-the-mouth tender, juicy and flavourful. No gamey smell. OMG kind of yummy....

So, is lamb healthy? Isn't lamb a red meat? Yes. Lamb is a type of red meat and like most red meats, might not be approved by the very health conscious. However, you gotta know that high quality red meats like grass-fed lamb and beef like those from Pure South are excellent and truly healthy protein sources when consumed in moderation.
