Ingredients: crown roast of lamb (16 to 18 rib chops/cutlets, cut in 2 separate pieces)
melted butter Preparation: Ask butcher to prepare 16 to 18 rib chops/cutlets without cutting through the sections. Ask to have skin removed and ask them to chine (cut between the bone) the chips for easier carving. Tie ribs together in a circle with the bones toward the outside to resemble a crown. The butcher can do this for you. Remember to remove skin or fat from bones at top. Use a sharp knife for this. Place a large sheet of aluminum foil on a large baking dish. Put crown roast in center of aluminum foil. Gather foil around bones at base. To keep the shape of the roast, place a small heatproof bowl or tin into the center of the roast. Place a small piece of aluminum foil around each exposed bone at top. Roast in oven at 450 degrees for 40 minutes, brushing frequently with melted butter. Remove from oven. Remove small bowl from center. Pack stuffing into center of roast, pressing down well. Spoon pan drippings over stuffing. Return to oven and cook another 40 to 45 minutes or until meat is tender. Place on a serving dish. Remove aluminum foil from tips and replace with small cutlet frills for a special presentation. While roast is cooking for the first 40 minutes, prepare stuffing. Chef's Notes: It is easy to make the chef hats for the tips of the bones. First, fold a white piece of paper in half horizontally and then fold it again vertically (figure A). Your sheet should be 1-1/2 inches wide and about 5 inches long. Next, cut the paper at the seam to separate the pieces. Now, make small incisions into the paper (figure B) and continue all the way across. Fold the paper inside out so that the perforations are in the middle. Fold paper over and around a pen (figure C) and use a glue stick to seal tightly.
