Sous Vide Rack of Lamb

I recently catered a party for a newly engaged couple. There would be 40 in attendance, mostly Greeks and a restaurateur among the invited. Another challenge? A kitchen with limited resources – one oven/range suitable for a home.
My solution to serving up lamb chops was to marinate the racks, vacuum seal them and cook with the sous vide method.
Have you heard of “sous vide”? It’s a French word that literally translates to “under vacuum”. In more detail, sous vide is a cooking method that involves vacuum-sealing food then placing the packet in temperature regulated water bath.
I like rack of lamb to be cooked to medium – 149F. Courtesy of Serious Eats, below is a cooking chart for sous vide rack of lamb.

Medium-well | 145°F (63°C) to 154°F (67°C) | 1 to 4 hours |
Well-done |
After the lamb racks are finished in the sous vide, I removed them from the wrap, placed them on a foil-lined baking sheet. I patted-dry the tops and seasoned with more salt.
I placed in the oven and broiled until golden brown and delicious (GBD). Cut the racks into chops, place on a platter and serve with some Tzatziki sauce. Let’s get on with the recipe/details below.
