Panko Crusted Rack of Lamb
Rack of lamb. This was one experimental recipe that completely turned out amazing. I don’t make lamb often but after coming up with this recipe, I think it will be on the menu in our household a lot more! This dish looks so fancy which makes it great for a small dinner party or a special date night at home. I like to serve mine with tzatziki sauce and couscous but it could be paired with tons of things- mashed potatoes, farro, saffron rice- the possibilities are endless! And just a little tip- you can eat a lot more of these savory lollipops than you think so I highly suggest doubling the recipe! Enjoy!
