Background

This herby roasted rack of lamb is a simple but impressive dish that’s perfect for dinner parties, Easter lunch, or other special occasions. The lamb is coated with fresh herbs, garlic and lemon, giving it plenty of flavour while still letting the meat shine. Rack of lamb is naturally tender, so it doesn’t need a long marinade, though you can prepare it ahead if you like. The herby glaze becomes fragrant as it roasts, while the inside stays juicy and pink.
Serve it with mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables for an elegant but relaxed meal.

Ingredients

1 rack of lamb
2 rosemary sprigs, leaves only
4 thyme sprigs, leaves only
4 mint leaves
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp olive oil
Zest and juice of ½ lemon
Salt and peppe

Instructions

Finely chop the rosemary, thyme, and mint leaves.
Put the herbs, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice into a mortar and crush with a pestle until you get a rough paste.
Stir in the lemon zest and season with salt and pepper.
Rub the herb mixture all over the rack of lamb and leave to marinate for about an hour if you have time.
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Place the lamb in a roasting tin, preferably on a rack.
Roast for 20–25 minutes, depending on how pink you like it.
Rest the lamb for 5 minutes before carving.
Serve with mashed potatoes and seasonal steamed or grilled vegetables.
