Ingredients |

2 red onions, each cut into 6 wedges
2 tsp ras el hanout
8 tbsp olive oil
2 racks of lamb, French trimmed
1 tbsp honey
2 tsp lemon thyme leaves

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas
6. Parboil the potatoes, then halve lengthways. Tip the potatoes and onions into a large roasting tin.
Scatter over half the ras el hanout, drizzle with 2 tbsp
of the oil and toss together until completely coated. Put
in the oven for 40 mins to roast, turning everything over
once or twice so it cooks evenly.
-
Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp of oil
in a frying pan and, one at a time, fry the fat side of
the lamb well until dark brown, then remove from the pan.
Remove the roasted veg from the oven. Season the lamb fat
with the remaining ras el hanout, then drizzle or brush
over the honey. Put the lamb, fat-side up, among the
potatoes and return to the oven. Cook for 20 mins for
rare, 25 mins for pink and 30 mins for well done. Remove
and leave to rest for 10 mins.
-
Meanwhile, mix the thyme with
the remaining oil and set aside. To serve, either bring
the roasting tin to the table, carve the racks into chops
and serve the potatoes straight from the pan, or remove
the racks, cut them into thick three-boned chops, then
spoon some of the potatoes onto each plate and rest a
thick chop against them. Drizzle everything with the lemon
thyme oil to serve.
