A special occasion warrants a special cut of meat, and lamb rack is a deserving choice. Instead of a reduction or heavy sauce, I’ve opted for a colorful “salsa” that pairs beautifully with the rich lamb. This dish is worthy of a decadent wine selection.

Ingredients

Lamb

2 tsp cumin seed

Method

For the lamb, toast the cumin and coriander in a sauté pan, tossing, until the fragrance becomes rich, about 2 minutes. In a mortar and pestle or in a small food processor, grind all the spices with the rosemary and olive oil to create a paste.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C)
