Lamb is honestly my all-time favourite protein. A good rack cooked just right with a little sauce on the side. It’s delicious every single time. This time I wanted to throw it on the barbecue, and I had a ton of fresh cilantro sitting around. I thought: why not a cilantro pesto? It turned out to be one of the best racks of lamb I’ve ever had. I seriously suggest you give it a try.<\/p>\n
I had some almonds lying around, pine nuts, pecorino. I threw it all together with my cilantro. The result is fresh, a little punchy, and cuts right through the richness of the lamb. It’s the kind of pesto that proves the best recipes often come from whatever you already have on hand.<\/p>\n
The rack of lamb gets seared on all sides, then you close off one side of the barbecue to finish the cooking with indirect heat. That’s the technique that gives you a beautiful golden crust without drying out the inside. The number one mistake to avoid is overcooking it. It gets tough and you lose all that flavour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
