This rack of lamb recipe from Gav’s Kitchen is really tasty and when served with a reduced port wine sauce is absolutely delicious!
It is very easy to cook with minimal preparation so makes a good main course for two.
Start with a good quality mini rack (4 bone) of lamb from your local butcher or online from a reputable supplier like Farmison.
When the rack comes out of the oven, allow it to rest and cut between the bones to separate the cutlets.
To be at its best this cut of lamb should be served rare.
