About

Ask your butcher to French trim the racks, just for that extra bit of wow factor.

Ingredients

Labneh

finely grated zest of 1 lemon
½ tsp sea salt
200

Method

Start on the labneh as it needs to hang. Stir the lemon zest and the sea salt into the yoghurt and mix well. Line a sieve with a muslin cloth, then pour in the yoghurt and tie the ends of the cloth together. Hang for 1½ to 2 hours over a bowl; the longer you leave it, the firmer it’ll get.

Make the lamb marinade: mix the ground cumin, garlic and onion powders, sea salt and sunflower oil
