Rack of Lamb with Herbes de Provence
I don’t have a “routine” type of personality. The rare times I’ve had a 9 to 5 job, I was the first to get to work early and many times, I left late so I could have some flexibility with my schedule and take some extra time off 🚤. I hate “structure” and have no problem working 12 to 15 hours a day.
I’ve always enjoyed my entrepreneurial positions. I work very well alone, am extremely self-disciplined, and self-motivated. I’m detail-oriented and very well-organized. I don’t need someone to tell me what to do as I can see 👀 the work that has to be done. OMG! It sounds like I’m applying for a job here, lol!
Back to my nonconformist personality…
Every Easter 🐰, I like to change my menu. It can be Veal Ossobuco, Brown Sugar Mustard Glazed Ham, Spanish Paella, Roast Duck with Marmalade Glaze, Braised Beef Short Ribs with Sherry & Shiitake, Bouillabaisse à la Marseillaise, Blanquette de Veau, Stuffed Pork Tenderloin, Coq au Vin, or this one… Rack of Lamb with Herbes de Provence!
Oh my! Oh my! This is INCREDIBLE 😍! This Rack of Lamb with Herbes de Provence is magnificent! Cooked perfectly with a beautiful taste from the herbs, this is a great dish to serve on any special occasion.
I like to serve it with Creamy Mashed Cauliflower or Mixed Mashed Potatoes, and either a side of Roasted Rainbow Carrots 🥕, Sautéed Broccolini, or Vegetable Tian. Some may enjoy mint jelly along with it – I prefer mine as is because it’s absolutely delicious without adding anything else.
What makes this dish so spectacular is the herb blend. I use my homemade Herbes de Provence that I posted last month. I also add more ingredients like fresh parsley, garlic 🧄, cheese, and breadcrumbs.
Restaurant-quality, this is a dish you’ll want to present at your next dinner party. This Rack of Lamb with Herbes de Provence is so elegant 🥰; your guests will definitely be pleased with not only the presentation but also the unbelievable flavor!
Bon Appétit!🍽
NOTE: If you want them rare, the internal temperature should read 125ºF and 135ºF for medium rare.

Your recipe is as delicious as Gordon Ramsay’s! Amazing job!
Oh my, thank you so much, Joey 😊🙏! Just a fun fact… Did you know that on my father’s side, we’re from Scotland and our last name is Ramsay? Maybe I’m related… maybe not! Have a nice evening.

Aww, you’re very kind, thank you. Welcome to the Club, Lionel! This is a very elegant, perfect for dinner parties. Have a wonderful day 🌞.
I baked mine just a little longer. We like medium-rare but not as ‘red’ as the picture.
F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C!!!!!
This is what I served for Christmas dinner this year, along with white bean puree, and steamed broccolini. My guests loved it!
Yummy! Actually, serving White Bean Purée was an elegant choice. Enjoy the rest of the holidays, Anita 🎄.

You’re welcome, Samantha 😉.
I love cooking and my wife loves baking. Being locked down, what do you think we’ve been doing? For our “quiet” 22nd anniversary, I’ve made these while my wife baked your Black Forest. It was like being in a five-star restaurant. Keep up the good work. You’re making this situation easier to deal with, not that it isn’t a picnic!
Happy anniversary! Aww, you’re so kind, thank you Murray 🙏. I know it’s hard on all of us. You’re right, a nice meal cooked at home along with a lovely Black Forest Cake should help deal with the situation. Enjoy the rest of your day.
The technique is spot on! There are gorgeous layers of deliciousness. Well done!
Thank you, Chad😀.
As much as COVID sucks, on the other hand, it helps me to be a better cook. I tried this recipe and was quite impressed with the results! Take care of yourself, Frankie. We want to keep you around for a long, long time!
Aww, you’re very kind, thank you Frederick 🥰. I’m happy you loved the recipe. When things get back to normal, this is an elegant and delicious recipe to serve to your guests. Take care of yourself as well, and have a nice evening.
Frankie, this is top restaurant quality! Many thanks!
It’s my pleasure and thank you for your kind comment, Steven.
Frankie, you can’t stop amazing me! Another stunning recipe! Your husband is a lucky man!
Thank you, Wilf. Oh yeah, he knows, lol 😅! Enjoy the rest of your day.
