Barbecued Spiced Rack of Lamb

Score the skin with the tip of a sharp knife in a lattice fashion, being careful not to pierce the flesh, before rubbing in the marinade. Using some turf bring an Irish smokiness to the meat.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp rapeseed oil

  • 2 tsp black peppercorns crushed
  • 1 tsp five-spice powder
  • 2 Achill rack of lamb French trimmed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a gas barbecue to medium heat or a charcoal until white ashes forms on the glowing coal.

  • Add a piece of turf into the barbecue ashes if using charcoal barbecue.
  • Place the rack of lamb onto the barbecue and grill for 5 minutes over direct heat. Move into a indirect heat or cooler part of the barbecue and continue to grill for a further 20 minutes or until cooked to your liking.
  • Just before serving, add the asparagus onto the barbecue. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes until charred. Remove from the barbecue and place on a serving platter with the racks of lambs. Let the meat settle for 3-5 minutes.
  • Carve and serve with the asparagus and some salad leaves with some balsamic dressing.
