Cook the Book: Rack of Lamb Glazed with Citrus and Vinegar
For a special dinner, most people expect a big hunk of meat plated in all its glory. Big hunks of meat tend to impress and rightly so. This rack of lamb recipe from Urban Italian has a vinegar glaze which should taste "sweet, sour, spicy, and herby all at once." Paired with a spicy citrus marinade, this seriously hits up all your taste buds.
One of the things I love about Carmellini's recipes is that even though it calls for vin cotto and harissa here (ingredients that aren't exactly in everyone's pantry), he offers easy substitutes like balsamic vinegar and red pepper flakes. So there's no last minute rush to the store and I can make a rack of lamb and enjoy all that a caramelized fat cap has to offer.
