Southwestern Style Sous Vide Rack of Lamb

This sous vide rack of lamb recipe uses southwestern spices to bring a little heat and depth of flavor that compliments the supple texture that comes from cooking the lamb sous vide.

The reason sous vide works so well for a rack of lamb is because it applies heat evenly through the whole rack, which means every bit of the lamb is perfectly done. You also get the best of both worlds by finishing it on the grill without having to worry about it flaring up every few minutes.

A few dishes we recommend serving with this recipe are Ancho Chili Sweet Potatoe Puree and Sweet Corn with Anaheim Peppers.
