Chef's Tips

    Frequently asked questions

    How long can I store leftovers?

    Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

    Can I make this ahead?

    Yes, the lamb can be marinated a day in advance and cooked just before serving.

    What cuts of lamb are best for this dish?

    Lamb chops or rack of lamb work best due to their tenderness and flavor.

    Can I substitute dried herbs for fresh ones?

    Yes, but use half the amount since dried herbs are more concentrated in flavor.

    Is there an alternative to grilling?

    You can sear the lamb in a pan and finish it in the oven at 375°F until it reaches your desired doneness.
