Summer is, in my opinion, one of the most exciting times to enjoy some of the best foods ever, from fresh fruits and vegetables to incredible Aussie beef and lamb grilled to perfection on my Big Green Egg.

Confession: I’m in serious love with my Big Green Egg, a kamado style ceramic cooker. It surely has earned it’s keep around here with the ability of being used as a grill, smoker and oven…yes I said oven. This “drop the mic” egg-shaped grill, makes other charcoal grills pale in comparison.

Recently on my Big Green Egg, I grilled a beautiful Aussie rack of lamb that had been frenched, and I decided to give it a Moroccan inspired twist in the seasonings. If you’re new to cooking your own lamb, it’s honestly super easy and taste incredible. Growing up, lamb was not served at our table, so I was a bit skittish at first to try it. Then I had the opportunity many moons ago, and loved every bite. It’s a quick and easy meat to prepare, and when grilled, lamb comes into it’s own with mouthwatering layers of flavor.

Some of my favorite things about summer:

  • Playing outdoors, from gardening to taking in the lovely sunshine and maybe some water play thrown in.
  • Wearing shorts, my favorite sandals and flowy sundresses.
  • Grilling up some amazing meals to share and enjoy with friends and family!
  • Fireflies and fireworks.
  • Ice pops and fresh berries.

Course Dinner
Servings 4 - 6

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Lemons zest and juice
  • 1 Tbsp smoked Paprika
  • 1 Tbsp fresh Mint chopped
  • 3 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp each of Salt & Pepper
  • 2 frenched Aussie Racks of Lamb

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix together the Lemon zest and juice, smoked Paprika, chopped fresh Mint and Olive Oil with the Salt and Pepper. Set aside until ready to use.
  • One hour before grilling, place the Aussie Racks of Lamb in a dish, add the Olive Oil Marinade mixture and massage well all over meat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinade at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Heat up your grill to 350°F. Move lump coals to one side, to create a Direct and Indirect Heat source.
  • Place the marinated meat straight onto the hot grate, bone side down, grill for 5 - 7 minutes to brown over Direct Heat.
  • Turn the meat over, meat side down, and allow to cook over Indirect Heat for about 15 - 20 minutes or until a thermometer reads between 120°F for rare and 150°F for medium. (I aim for about 130°F). 
  • Remove from grill and let meat rest for 5 - 10 minutes and then cut into individual Aussie Lamb Chops.
  • Serve with the Harissa Greek Yogurt Dip (1 Tbsp Harissa to 1 cup Yogurt, swirled together).
  • Enjoy!

Notes

The marinade can be mixed together the day before and you can marinate the Aussie Racks of Lamb, covered in the refrigerator overnight. 
To prevent the bones of the meat from charring, you can loosely cover the bones with aluminum foil while grilling.
