Description

I really love lamb for a couple of reasons:

1. It’s super easy and delish

2. Great for dinner guests

3. It’s done in 10 minutes!

Pumpkin seeds mixed with panko goes well with the lamb. The panko gives it a light crunch and the pumpkin seeds add a layer of earthiness. It is a very good combination of flavor.

My favorite side to serve this with is truffled french fries.

First preheat the oven to 400 degrees
Score the fat on the outside of the rack in a crisscross pattern

  1. What kind of wine might I serve with this? I never now if I should go white or red with lamb. P.S. Looks delicious.

  2. For reds I have always enjoyed a handful of styles like Pinto Noir, old-world Syrahs from Northern Rhone, or a red Bordeaux.

    I am also a big fan of white with lamb and really enjoy a white Burgundy especially Puligny-Montrachet.

  3. I can’t wait to make this. I had no idea lamb was so easy to prepare!
