Paniolo Rack of Lamb

Submitted by lazyme

"This is one of our favorite lamb dishes. It is from The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Kapalua, Hawaii. Because the lamb in this recipe is marinated in a barbecue-style sauce and then grilled, the hotel nicknamed the dish "paniolo", which means "cowboy" in Hawaiian."

I got this recipe from Bon Appetit and have been making it for years. I love anything in hoisin sauce and the red and chili paste gives it a unique flavor. This sauce could be used over chicken, spareribs or fresh tuna. I would highly recommend this recipe.
