Community Coffee Marinated Rack of Lamb

“Community Coffee is a Baton Rouge based company, and is the largest family-owned coffee company in America.  It is one of the true flavors of the south and surprisingly using it as a marinade for lamb enhances with subtle flavors of the meat.”

Serves 4

4 Four bone racks of lamb, Frenched 

5 cups Community Coffee, Chilled 

2 tablespoons olive oil 

salt and black pepper to taste

Place racks on lamb in a container and completely cover with Community Coffee.  Marinate between 12 and 24 hours.  Pre heat oven to 400 degrees.  Remove lamb from marinade and pat dry with a towel.  Season lamb generously with salt and pepper.  Heat a large sauté pan over high heat and add olive oil.  Sauté lamb on each side until the meat is golden brown.  Place on a roasting pan and cook in the oven until the internal temperature is 130 degrees or about 12 minute.  Remove the lamb from the oven and allow the meat to rests on a cutting board for 10 minutes.  Slice the meat between the bones into chops and serve.
