I mentioned in my last post that I have started to take the easy way out when it comes to my cooking. But taking the easy way out doesn’t have to mean bland and boring. I never thought I was capable of making something as extravagant as rack of lamb at home. I mean, that’s reserved for fancy restaurants, right? But I found a way! All you need to do is follow a few simple directions, and you can make a gourmet-style, delicious meal. Lamb is not allowed on Phases 1, 2, or 3, so it makes a great phase 4 dinner.
Difficulty: Easy
Ideal Protein: Phase 4
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
- 1 Rack of lamb
- Aloha Chimichurri Dry Rub
- 1 Tablespoon Grapeseed oil
Directions:

- Transfer the lamb rack to a baking sheet. Re-season the entire lamb rack with Chimichurri Spice Blend.
- Bake for 15 minutes for medium-rare. Allow lamb to sit for 10 minutes before carving into chops to serve.
