A brilliant centrepiece for a roast, a great dish for entertaining or just a special meal to share for two, rack of lamb is one of my favourite cuts of meat and it’s surprisingly easy to make.
Lamb and thyme are partners in crime and with lamb featuring heavily in Middle Eastern cooking, za’atar works really with lamb for both flavour and to give a great texture against buttery tender lamb. Zhoug is a herby, zesty, spicy condiment from Yemen and it adds some real vibrancy to the gamey flavour of lamb. Serve with roasted cherry tomatoes or crunchy green beans, this is a show-stopping meal which is easy to make and always looks impressive.
