Gluten Free Herbed Rack of Lamb with Raspberry Mint Sauce

Is there anything better than the smell of meat roasting away in the oven? The way it perfumes the house will have people flocking to the kitchen wanting to know if dinner is done yet. Gluten Free Herbed Rack of Lamb with Raspberry Mint Sauce is one of my favorites.

Unlike many larger cuts of meat and styles of roast, one of my favorite things about a rack of lamb is how quickly it cooks up. In less than an hour you can have an elegant meal out of the oven and on the table.

Easy Elegance

Creating beautiful and memorable food never needs to be complicated. With just a few simple ingredients Gluten Free Herbed Rack of Lamb with Raspberry Mint Sauce comes together effortlessly.

Skip the dayglo green mint jelly and bring in all of the flavors of spring and summer with this fresh and easy sauce. Sweet and tart juicy, ripe raspberries are combined with the bright pop of champagne vinegar. Fresh mint and lemon juice liven everything up while sugar adds just a hint of sweet.

For the herbaceous crust I am using one of my favorites, Outside Table's Everyday Herb. This fresh, herb forward spice gets a little kick from crushed chilies and earthy note from cumin.

I love Outside Table because all of their products are certified organic, from their spices to their sauces. You can taste the small batch artisanal quality in every bite. Whether you're making a dish for a special occasion or just a weeknight meal, it always elevates your dishes and gives them that all day cooked flavor.
