How to make the perfect Frenched Rack of Lamb with @wildforkcanada – a true showstopper for dinner! Chef’s kiss 😘✨ Steps to Perfect Lamb: 1️⃣ Prep the Lamb: Start with a beautiful Frenched Rack of Lamb from @wildforkcanada . Pat it dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, pepper. 2️⃣ Sear: Heat a cast-iron skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the rack for 2-3 minutes per side until it’s beautifully golden brown. 3️⃣ Make the Crust: For extra flavour, mix minced garlic, fresh parsley, rosemary, olive oil & salt. Brush the lamb with the mix and press the mixture onto the meaty side. 4️⃣ Roast: Transfer to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C). Roast for 20-25 minutes for medium-rare or until it reaches your desired doneness (use a meat thermometer to check for 125°F/52°C for medium-rare). 5️⃣ Rest: Let the lamb rest for 10 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy and tender. 6️⃣ Serve & Impress: Slice between the bones into beautiful chops, plate with roasted potatoes, and enjoy this stunning dish!
