This April 20, celebrate Easter Sunday with Yaji Spice! For Christians worldwide, this day symbolizes hope, victory over sin and death, and the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. It’s often celebrated with a nice meal of glazed ham or lamb, which can be dressed up with a spice blend from Yaji Spice. We’ve included a recipe for a rack of lamb here for you. 

Rack of Lamb  

Level: Easy  
Prep: 10 min  
Cook: 25 min  
Total: 35 min 
Yield: 6 servings  

Ingredients    

• 1 ½ tablespoons kosher salt  
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary leaves  
• 3 garlic cloves, minced  
• ½ Tbs Mama Put  
• ½ cup Dijon mustard  
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar  
• 2 racks of lamb, “frenched” (see note)  

  
Instructions  

1. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, process the salt, rosemary, and garlic until they’re as finely minced as possible. Add the mustard, balsamic vinegar, and Mama Put and process for 1 minute. Place the lamb in a roasting or sheet pan with the ribs curving down and coat the tops with the mustard mixture. Allow to stand for 1 hour at room temperature.  
2. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.  
3. Roast the lamb for exactly 20 minutes for rare or 25 minutes for medium-rare. Remove from the oven and cover with aluminum foil. Allow to sit for 15 minutes, then cut into individual ribs and serve.  

Cook’s Note:  

“Frenching” refers to scraping the meat off the tips of the bones. Ask your butcher to leave 1/8 inch of fat on the meat.
