Roast Rack of Lamb Recipe
Succulent, tender roasted rack of lamb can make a very special main course for any springtime celebration, and with a little advance prep, it’s quick to make, too. I use garlic, olive oil, and rosemary to make a delicious Mediterranean style rub that works perfectly with the lamb and will make your kitchen smell irresistible.
