Ingredients
- 6-bone rack of lamb, French trimmed
- 20g bunch of fresh flatleaf parsley
- 30g fresh mint leaves
- 1 fresh rosemary sprig, leaves finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 small red chilli, deseeded
- 50ml lemon juice
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 100g Greek yogurt
Method
- Cut the lamb rack into 2 portions of 3 cutlets each. Place in a shallow dish.
- Place the herbs, garlic, chilli, lemon juice, honey and oil in a food processor, season and blitz until smooth. Pour over the lamb, cover with cling film and marinate overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Heat a heavy-based frying pan until hot. Shake the excess marinade from the lamb, then sear the cutlets on all sides until golden. Transfer to a baking tray and cook in the oven for 15 minutes until cooked but still a little pink in the middle.
- Heat the remaining marinade in a small pan until boiling. Cool, then stir in the yogurt.
- Serve the lamb with the sauce and a salad.
