Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- 4-6 Lamb Racks
- About 10 Dates
- 5-6 cloves Garlic
- 1 Green Onion
- 1 Anchovy Base Coin Stock
- 1/2 cup Water
- 2 tbsp White Wine (or soju)
- 1 tbsp Ssamjang
- A little MSG
- Plenty of Whole Peppercorns
- Olive Oil, as needed
- A little Apple Mint
Recipe 🍳
- Halve the dates, remove the pits, and place them in a blender jar. Roughly chop the garlic and the white part of the green onion and add them.
- Add 1 coin stock, 1/2 cup water, 2 tbsp white wine, 1 tbsp ssamjang, and a little MSG to the blender jar. Let it soak for 10 minutes until the dates soften, then blend coarsely to create the sauce base.
- Pat the lamb racks dry to remove blood and moisture. Score the fat and meat sections densely to allow flavors to penetrate well.
- Brush the lamb racks evenly with olive oil. Then, coat generously with coarsely crushed whole peppercorns on all sides, pressing firmly with your hands to adhere.
- Preheat a pan and sear the lamb racks, starting with the thicker parts. Place the fatty side down and cook for about 30 seconds to render the fat, then sear until golden brown. Let it rest separately.
- Pour the blended sauce base directly into the pan used for cooking the lamb. Stir over medium heat for about 1 minute until it thickens to a consistency similar to peanut sauce.
- Arrange the grilled lamb racks attractively on a plate. Drizzle the thickened special sauce over the top. Garnish with thinly sliced green parts of the green onion and apple mint leaves, and a light drizzle of olive oil to finish.
- Combine dates, garlic, green onion, coin stock, wine, ssamjang, and water in a blender. Soak for 10 minutes, then blend.
- Score the lamb racks, brush with olive oil, and coat generously with whole peppercorns.
- Sear the lamb racks in a pan until golden brown on all sides and the fat side, then set aside.
- Pour the blended sauce into the pan used for the lamb and reduce for 1 minute until thickened.
- Plate the lamb racks, drizzle with the sauce, and garnish with green onion, mint, and olive oil.
Cooking tips 💡
- When searing the lamb rack, place the fatty side down in the pan to render the fat sufficiently. This ensures a crispy exterior and moist interior without a greasy texture.
- Instead of blending the sauce completely smooth, leave some texture from the dates. This adds to the dish's texture and exotic appeal.
