Farmer’s Notes:
Keep your eye on the rack of lamb as it cooks.
I noticed the liquid was evaporating an hour or so after I started, so I added 30 Tbsp. (yes 30!) of water.
I like juicy meat better, and didn’t want to have a dry chunk of meat and bones waiting for me. 😛
Otherwise, I was impressed with how simple the process was, and the texture and flavor were top notch.
Adjust the seasoning levels according to your liking, more pepper would’ve given it a spicier kick (I like spice).
Enjoy!
