Rack of Lamb with Dijon Crust and Rosemary Cherry Tomatoes Recipe
Cooking projects for people who'd like nothing more than to spend a sunday afternoon surrounded by the wonderful aromas of the kitchen.
In my opinion, the best way to make sure your lamb is cooked to perfection is taking its temperature with a calibrated thermometer and letting it rest. Around 10 minutes seems to be a good resting time for an average-sized rack of lamb. A few roasted potatoes and a light red wine and a spectacular Sunday supper is sitting on your table in no time flat.
