ROAST RACK OF LAMB WITH MINT SAUCE
The lamb that we buy today hardly requires a typical English mint sauce (the puckery flavor was originally designed to cut through the stronger taste of mutton), but the combination is by now a traditional and still-welcome one. Buttered carrots and a watercress salad would complement the lamb nicely. Uncork a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon or red Bordeaux.

We had something very similar to this at a restaurant here in Big Bear on our first date. It was absolutely incredible. My eyes rolled back in my head and I couldnt stop eating.

- Trim the lamb: Remove any excess fat from the rack of lamb. This will help to prevent the lamb from becoming greasy.
- Season the lamb: Season the lamb with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the lamb.
- Sear the lamb: Sear the lamb in a hot skillet or grill until it is browned on all sides. This will help to create a flavorful crust and prevent the lamb from drying out.
- Glaze the lamb: In a small saucepan, combine the mint jelly, honey, and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it has thickened. Brush the lamb with the glaze during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Let the lamb rest: Let the lamb rest for 10 minutes before carving. This will help to redistribute the juices and make the lamb more tender.
