Rack of lamb and the Weber Q+

Today, Sunday 26 January 2025, is officially Australia Day. Tomorrow, Monday, is a gazetted public holiday.

Will I work on tomorrow’s public holiday? Yes, it will be a busy week, and I have a significant engagement to prepare for. Working on public holidays means less distraction and better-quality work.

I will have leftover meat lollipops to enjoy for lunches this week.

Ingredients

• Lamb rack (1 kg at $AUD30/kg)
• Salt

Equipment

• Weber Q+
• Gas torch

Instructions

1. The day before cooking (Saturday 25 January 2025) season the meat with salt, especially the fat and then place the lamb on a rack in the refrigerator uncovered. This is called dry brining.
2. On the day of cooking (Sunday 25 January 2025) preheat the Weber Q+ for about 10 minutes.
3. Put in the lamb in the Weber Q+ and close the lid.
4. Cook for 20 minutes.
5. Sear with a gas torch.
6. Remove the lamb and cover with an aluminium foil tent for about 10 minutes.
7. Carve between the rib bones and eat the meat like lollipops.

The lamb was delicious. I was famished today and the meat lollipops hit the spot perfectly.

Suggestion for leftover lamb

• Carve cutlets and gently heat the meat lollipops in a frypan until a crust forms.
