Steps:
- Marinate the lamb: Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, red pepper flakes, 2 teaspoons salt and several grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl; whisk until smooth. Place the lamb on a rimmed baking sheet or in a roasting pan; poke about 10 slits into each side with the tip of a paring knife. Rub the marinade all over the lamb, massaging it into the meat and slits. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Remove the lamb from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature about 1 hour before roasting. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and set a rack in a roasting pan. Wipe any excess marinade off the lamb and season all over with salt and pepper; transfer to the rack. Roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 130 degrees F to 135 degrees F, about 1 hour 50 minutes. Remove from the oven, transfer to a cutting board and let rest 30 to 45 minutes before carving.
- Meanwhile, make the mint sauce: Combine the mint, parsley, garlic, mustard, capers, lemon juice, sugar, red pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a blender and puree until smooth. With the machine running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl. Carve the lamb and serve with the sauce.
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.

RACK OF LAMB WITH CILANTRO- MINT SAUCE
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. It was served with garlic mashed potatoes or herbed white rice, and we had creme brulee for dessert with raspberries for dessert. ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of lamb: For roasting, a leg of lamb, rack of lamb, or shoulder of lamb are all good options. Look for meat that is a deep pink color with a fine-grained texture.
- Marinate the lamb: Marinating the lamb helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple combination of olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme is a good place to start.
- Roast the lamb properly: To ensure that the lamb is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The lamb is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 150 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-well.
- Make a flavorful sauce: A flavorful sauce can really elevate the dish. The recipe in the article includes two sauces: a peppercorn cream sauce and a jalapeño mint sauce. Both sauces are easy to make and add a lot of flavor to the lamb.
- Serve the lamb with your favorite sides: Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and asparagus are all good options. You can also serve the lamb with a simple salad.
Conclusion:
Roast lamb is a classic dish that is perfect for a special occasion meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With a little planning and effort, you can create a delicious and memorable meal that your friends and family will love.
