20 ingredients
Serves 6.
openrecipes
Tender and flavorful rack of lamb—rib bones with the tenderloin attached—shouldn’t be restricted to holiday fare or fancy restaurant menus. Simply dressed with herbs or marinated briefly to add moisture and flavor, grilled rack of lamb makes any occasion special. Serve on a bed of herbed couscous.
