What Herbs go well with Lamb?
My favorite way to make a lamb rack is with a marinade of olive oil, lemon, fresh rosemary, garlic and thyme.
But honestly, I love lamb just about any way I’ve tried it!
- Dijon, lemon, garlic and thyme
- salt, pepper and garlic
- parsley, rosemary and thyme
- many people like mint with lamb. Not me, but maybe it’s for you!
What sides go well with rack of lamb when doing keto or low carb?
- There’s something about asparagus that makes me think I need lamb and vice versa!
- Easter is a perfect time to make lamb because so many spring vegetables are ready
- Roast some vegetables right in the pan! Think cherry tomatoes, asparagus, tender young zucchini and radishes. You can easily make this a one pan sheet pan dinner!
- Pure comfort food when you add pureed cauliflower (see my cauli mash recipe here)
- For guests, make a greek cauliflower rice dish with parsley, lemon and oregano
For this recipe, I roasted asparagus right in the sheet pan beside the lamb racks. And I used lemon, garlic, rosemary, thyme and olive oil on the lamb.
