Lamb Racks with a Pistachio Crust

When it comes to special meals Lamb racks are a favourite in our household, I love to serve them in many different ways and this recipe is lovely with it’s pistachio and mustard crust.

Although Lamb Racks are a little pricey they do come trimmed so there is no waste and meat cooked on the bone is full of flavour and racks are relatively quick to cook. Also if you were to eat them in a restaurant it would cost the same for one serve as it would to cook them at home for the whole family.
