Harissa-Glazed Rack of Lamb

Harissa is a spicy hot pepper condiment that can be used as a sauce or marinade for any number of proteins, but we love the piquant flavor of harissa paired with the rich succulence of lamb. For the deepest flavor, marinate the lamb rack overnight in the refrigerator. Make sure you are using harissa sauce from a jar, not harissa paste, which is thicker and usually comes in a tube. Experiment with the rest of the jar of harissa--it can be used in June's Harissa-Roasted Chicken Legs recipe, but it's also great swirled with yogurt for a crudite and flatbread dip, stirred into soups or stews, or even dolloped on your breakfast eggs.
