Pistachio Crusted Rack of Lamb
With the power of Herbes de Provence, mustard, and pistachios, you can make a restaurant-worthy rack at lamb right at home, in just under an hour. This recipe by Chef John requires just a few ingredients, but it's big on flavor and yields a lamb so tender the meat falls off the bone. Get ready, you'll probably be asked to make it again next year.
Easy Leg of Lamb
Garlic cloves, fresh rosemary, and garlic powder are all you need to make this boneless leg of lamb sing. This dish is so succulent and simple you'll want to make it all winter long. If you don't live near a specialty butcher, you can easily find boneless leg of lamb at Costco or order it online.
Jinx-Proof Braised Lamb Shanks
Lamb shanks seem decadent and hearty, but they're a foolproof cut of meat, especially when they're slowly roasted in this aromatic, deeply flavored broth. The drippings and sauce combine to make a rich gravy that's excellent over rice or potatoes.
Chef John's Grilled Lamb with Mint Orange Sauce
Fresh herbs, orange marmalade, and complex spices unite to make an unbeatable topping for grilled lamb chops. This recipe is simple and straightforward, and once it's marinated it only needs about 15 minutes on the grill, depending on your desired doneness. The mint orange sauce also works great with other grilled meats, such as pork chops.
Lamb Braised in Pomegranate
Tart, juicy pomegranate is bold enough to be paired with lamb without being overpowered by the meat's richness. The dynamic flavors match up well with a huge range of sides, such as couscous, roasted squash, mashed potatoes, or even polenta. Anyone who calls themself a lamb lover needs to try this pairing.
Roasted Lamb Breast
Let Chef John introduce you to a new cut of lamb. "Ya'll I would usually submit a picture of the dish along with my review but to be completely honest with you it didn't last very long on my plate! Before I knew it I had eaten it all," says Allrecipes Allstar Tracey Ferrari Posner.
Braised Lamb with Radishes and Mint
If you need to use up an abundance of radishes, we highly suggest making this braised lamb. On their own, radishes may not seem all that flavorful, but here, they absorb flavor from the lamb shoulder and robust sauce. This recipe works with other cuts of lamb, but be sure to use one that has a good amount of fat.
