If you’re looking for a dish that’s bursting with flavor and takes less than 30 minutes to whip up, then you have to try this rack of lamb recipe! I have to admit, I’ve come to really enjoy lamb. Growing up, We never had lamb so I wasn't sure it was somthing I wanted to even try. Boy have I changed my mind! I love it!!!

Rack of Lamb

We stopped by Barb & Patty's our local butcher shop, and they recommended an Australian rack of lamb. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any lamb from Ohio on hand. But when the butcher gives a recommendation like that, you just have to try it! So, we decided to go ahead and make this delicious herb crusted rack of lamb recipe. I mean, any excuse to cook this dish is a good one.

Cooking the Rack of Lamb

This herb crusted rack of lamb was incredibly tender and absolutely delicious! We started off with a simple rub using thyme, salt, and pepper, and it made all the difference.

We started by pan-searing some delicious lamb ribs with a whole bunch of (20) garlic cloves! And honestly, I can't think of anything better than Garlic Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb drizzled with a zesty lemon sauce. It's such a treat! 😁 .

To finish the cook we placed the rack of Lamb ribs in the oven for about 30 minutes. Then pulled the lamb out and let it rest. We removed the garlic and added fresh garlic cloves to the drippings, the juice from a lemon, the zest, and white wine to make the sauce. Cooked it down for about 5 minutes until the garlic was soft. Finally, add some cornstarch to thicken. We pour it over the lamb and let it set for about 10 minutes. DELISH!

The lemon and wine sauce coats the rack of lamb and makes for an extremely tender bite. Don't forget to sprinkle some cilantro on top! We served the lamb with a Risotto topped with shiitake mushrooms, and a side of sugar snap peas and asparagus.

When it’s time to serve the rack of lamb, we usually go for two delicious chops per person! To cut it, simply slice between the bones—it’s really straightforward, and don’t forget to grab a sharp knife for the best results.
