This lamb recipe marinates the lamb in yogurt, herbs and oil making it meltingly tender. A crisp coating of pan-fried breadcrumbs adds colour and flavour
Put the yogurt, mint, dill, garlic and 2tbsp oil in a shallow bowl, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and mix together. Put a quarter of the mixture in another bowl, cover and chill.
Step 2
Add the racks of lamb to the remaining yogurt mixture and coat well. Cover and chill for at least 24hr.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan oven) mark 6. Put lamb racks together so the bones are intersecting and put in a roasting tin. Roast for 20-30min. Remove from tin, put on a board, cover with foil and leave to rest for 10min.
Step 4
Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a pan and fry the breadcrumbs until golden. Season with salt and sprinkle over the lamb racks. Serve immediately with the reserved yogurt dip.
