Are you looking for a nice Christmas recipe in advance so that you’re well prepared for Christmas? Or are you looking for a tasty recipe to impress your guests? We are sure that you will score extra points when you make the rack of lamb with an herb crust, because this dish is very delicious.
Lamb meat pairs very well with hard herbs such as thyme, sage and rosemary, which is why we have cooked the rack of lamb in a jacket of these herbs.
We made this recipe on the kamado, but you can also make the recipe on a normal barbecue if you don’t have a kamado.
Looking for a nice side dish? You could, for example, serve the rack of lamb dish with our potatoes from the barbecue and/or a delicious fresh beetroot carpaccio.
