Steps:
- Make the lamb: In a medium bowl, mix together the yogurt, garlic, ginger, garam masala, turmeric, cayenne, 2 teaspoons of salt, the pepper, and ground cashews.

- Season the lamb with the remaining teaspoon of salt, then rub the marinade into the meat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6-12 hours.
- Arrange a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450°F (220°C).
- Transfer the marinated lamb, fat-side up to a roasting pan and weave the racks together so they are partially upright. Roast for 15 minutes, then turn the racks over and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (55°C). Let rest for 10-15 minutes.
- While the lamb rests, make the yogurt sauce: In a medium bowl, stir together the yogurt, shallots, sumac, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Garnish the yogurt sauce with the pomegranate seeds and mint leaves.
- Carve the lamb between the rib bones into individual chops. Transfer to a serving platter and serve with the yogurt sauce alongside.
- Enjoy!

YOGURT-AND-HERB-CRUSTED LEG OF LAMB
In this hearty dish, a piquant yogurt sauce not only offsets the robustness of the lamb, but also helps bind the citrusy herbed breadcrumbs. What pops out of the oven: tender, juicy meat with an irresistibly crisp coating.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees with one rack in top third and one in bottom third. Set a wire rack in a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. In a saucepan, combine oil, garlic, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; cook over medium until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a food processor and process with zest and parsley until a coarse paste forms. Transfer to a bowl; stir in breadcrumbs and lemon juice. In another bowl, whisk together yogurt and mustard; season with salt.
- Place lamb, skin-side down, on a work surface and pound with a mallet to an even thickness of about 1 1/4 inches. Arrange loose ends to create a rough rectangle; season with salt. Spread 1/2 cup yogurt mixture evenly over surface, then half of breadcrumb mixture. Starting at ragged short end, tightly roll lamb into a cylinder. Tie with kitchen twine at 2-inch intervals; insert 2 skewers crosswise through lamb to help hold shape, if desired. Transfer to prepared baking sheet; season all over with salt.
- Increase oven heat to broil; broil lamb on top rack, flipping halfway through, until fat is golden brown, about 2 minutes a side. Reduce temperature to 450 degrees and roast 20 minutes. Remove from oven; reduce temperature to 400 degrees. Remove twine from lamb, leaving skewers in place. Spread remaining yogurt mixture thickly over top and sides of lamb. Press remaining breadcrumb mixture into yogurt. Roast on bottom rack until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of lamb registers 135 degrees for medium-rare, 40 to 60 minutes more, depending on diameter of roll. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand 20 minutes before carving with a very sharp knife. Serve, with lemon wedges.
RACK OF LAMB WITH GARLIC AND HERBS
Steps:
- Brown lamb:
- Heat a dry 12-inch heavy skillet over high heat until hot, at least 2 minutes. Meanwhile, pat lamb dry and rub meat all over with salt and pepper. Add oil to hot skillet, then brown racks, in 2 batches if necessary, on all sides (not ends), about 10 minutes per batch.
- Transfer racks to a small (13- by 9-inch) roasting pan.
- Coat and roast lamb:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
- Stir together garlic, herbs, salt, pepper, and oil. Coat meaty parts of lamb with herb mixture, pressing to help adhere. Roast 15 minutes, then cover lamb loosely with foil and roast until thermometer inserted diagonally into center of meat registers 120°F, 5 to 10 minutes more. Let stand, covered, 10 minutes. (Internal temperature will rise to 125 to 130°F for medium-rare while lamb stands.)
- Cut each rack into 4 double chops.

Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 1§ hours. Strain into medium saucepan, pressing hard on solids in sieve. Spoon fat off top of broth; reserve fat for use with lamb.

Tips:
- To ensure the lamb rack is cooked evenly, bring it to room temperature before cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the lamb. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should reach 135°F (57°C).
- Allow the lamb rack to rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- When making the yogurt sauce, use high-quality yogurt for the best flavor. Greek yogurt is a good option as it is thick and creamy.
- Adjust the amount of garlic and lemon juice in the yogurt sauce to your taste preferences.
- For a more herbaceous flavor, use a variety of fresh herbs in the yogurt sauce. Some good options include mint, cilantro, and parsley.
