What can I say … this IS the best lamb dish I have ever eaten and experienced.
I know that’s a big call Pete … so I really
had to dig deep and search my palette memory and
yes this IS the best EVER.
The grass feed lamb was just so lean, tender and juicy!
The texture of the meat was so fine, it cut and ate like butter.
The small amount of fat that was left, after the precision of the chefs knife with French trimming the rack,
had been perfectly rendered away.
Resulting in a stunningly cooked lamb rack.
After it was sliced into individual chops in the kitchen it was laid on a bed of fresh and smouldering dried thyme.
Place in a lidded cast-iron pot and then ceremoniously paraded to our table and without fanfare … the lid was lifted for
the big reveal.
The reveal was so unexpected and all said in French that I didn't have, and wasn't able to get a picture …
nor would I want to look so crass in this French setting!
The heady smokey aromas that hit you once the lid was lifted
opened up ones senses.
Seeing the little dried thyme leaves quickly disappearing in a red smoulder, smoking gently the newly cut edges
of cooked lamb chops was like
food porn foreplay.
As quickly as it arrived it was whisked away back to the
kitchen for the chef to plate.
The 3 lamb chops were arranged on a bed of bright green spring pea purée and duck fat roasted root vegetables.
I was again taken to

So ......... It was good, was it?!
