Serve lamb racks carved into individual chops arranged on a warm platter with the bones facing upward for dramatic presentation. Accompany with mint jelly, red wine reduction, or rosemary-infused gravy. Pair with roasted root vegetables and creamy potato gratin for classic combination. Garnish with fresh herb sprigs and edible flowers for color contrast. Use a sharp carving knife tableside for restaurant-style service. Red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah complements the rich lamb flavor. For plating, arrange 2-3 chops per person with sauce drizzled underneath.
How to Store?
Store leftover lamb in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The herb crust will soften when refrigerated but can be refreshed in a 400°F oven for 5 minutes. Cooked lamb freezes well for up to 2 months - wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil to prevent freezer burn. Thaw in refrigerator overnight before reheating. For best results, reheat in oven rather than microwave to maintain texture. The bones can be used to make rich lamb stock for future recipes. Allow lamb to come to room temperature before serving for optimal flavor and texture.
