Coat the rack of lamb with toasted sesame oil then dust heavily with Togararishi Powder(Japanese seven spice). Rest in fridge for an hour.
While the lamb is resting light one half a chimney of charcoal, I use lump but whatever. Put the lit charcoal in the vortex with the vents open. I would have just left the lid off but there was a lot of wind. Let it get good and hot!
Retrieved the lamb from the fridge, dusted with Togarashi again, just to make sure.... And on the grille. Keep it moving you just want to sear the outside, not cook!
Flipped
Now it gets a raincoat.
And into the waterbath at 128° for two hours, or however much longer you need. I was making the Poppy Seed Tort while this was cooking so it was probably in the waterbath for three or three and a half hours. One of the beauties of Sous Vide, you cannot over cook.
Now we're out of the waterbath, doesn't look much different.
First cut (with Rich's camera)
I got my camera back!
At this point the Tort cooking was getting way long and I was starved so I woofed a few chops and some leftover veggies. But they will be back!
If you cannot find the Togarashi here is the home version,
1 tablespoon (15 ml) black sesame seeds
1 tablespoon (15 ml) white sesame seeds
1/2 tablespoon (7.5 ml) orange zest
1 tablespoon (15 ml) white poppy seeds
1/2 tablespoon (7.5 ml) Hungarian paprika
1/2 tablespoon (7.5 ) ancho chile powder or ground dried bird chile
1 tablespoon (15 ml) crushed Szechwan pepper corns
1/2 tablespoon (7.5 ml) ginger powder
2 tablespoons (30 ml) crushed toasted seaweed
