SPICE CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB

Updated: Dec 1, 2020

Usually, people cook a turkey on Thanksgiving Day, but Turkey is too big for my three-person family. On a smaller scale of Thanksgiving meals, I think turkey breast or ground turkey or chicken or any other meat in small quantity is fine. For this festive meal, I chose a rack of lamb.



Prep:40 mins Cooking Time:1 hr

Servings: 4


INGREDIENTS :

  1. 1 teaspoon garlic pest

  2. 1 teaspoon ginger pest

  3. 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder

  4. 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder

  5. 1 tablespoon mustard

  6. 1 teaspoon chili powder

  7. 1 teaspoon honey

  8. 1 and 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

  9. Rack of Lamb with 8 - 10 ribs
