Mojito Rack of Lamb

Mint and rum define this famous Cuban drink; here we infuse lamb with rum, garlic and spices, then top it with a fragrant mint chutney.

Ingredients

2 racks lamb (each about 1 lb/500 g)
2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
4 tsp  (20 mL)  amber or dark rum
1/4 tsp  (1 mL)  each salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, ground cumin and turmeric
Mint Chutney:
1/2 cup  (125 mL)  packed mint leaf
1 green onion, chopped
1 hot green pepper seeded and chopped
1 tbsp  (15 mL)  lime juice
2 tsp  (10 mL)  granulated sugar
2 tsp  (10 mL)  amber rum
1/4 tsp  (1 mL)  salt

Preparation

Trim excess fat from lamb. Mix together garlic, rum, salt, cayenne, pepper, cumin and turmeric. Rub on meat portions of lamb; cover with plastic and marinate for 1 hour or refrigerate for up to 1 day.

Grill over medium-high heat, covered and turning once, until medium-rare or digital thermometer inserted into thickest part reads 150F/65C, about 20 minutes. Remove from grill; let stand for 5 minutes.

Mint Chutney: In food processor or mini processor, whirl mint, onion, hot pepper, lime juice, sugar, rum and salt until finely minced (or mince by hand). (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 1 day.)

Cut lamb into single chops. Top with dollop of Mint Chutney.

Makes about 16 chops, or 4 main or 8 mixed-grill servings.
