Gordon Ramsay is my culinary idol. I not only love watching on TV, I’ve never been disappointed with any of his recipe ideas. When my husband came home with a large Rack of Lamb, I remembered a recipe of Gordon’s where he smothered the Lamb in mustard and dredged it in a breadcrumb, parsley and parmesan mixture.

 

Lamb is baby sheep that is under two years old and a lot of Lamb comes from Australia and New Zealand. Anything over 2 years old is considered Mutton. Mutton chops are incredibly tasty as well, they have a more mature flavor and are a bit tougher and take longer to cook. Many people don’t eat Lamb for ethical reasons so Mutton chops are a great idea too.

 

This Herbed Rack of Lamb makes a great spring meal. Carve it at the table for maximum drama and serve with a salad or veggies. Delicious!
