J – I LOVE rack of lamb …
when someone doesn’t mess it up by over-complicating the cooking. Fortunately, Luke is one of those chefs who neither messes things up, nor over-complicates the cooking. My kind of chef. One of the reasons we get along.
This dish is a supreme example of letting the protein do the talking.
Super-fresh spring lamb rack. Charcoal grill with a few wood chips. Salt and pepper seasoning. Then, a simple and really tasty Mint Salsa Verde to bring out the flavors of the lamb … without overpowering.
There is no complex process here. Simply season, grill, rest, cut, sauce and eat!
