I definitely have won my hubby over with lamb. A few years back he wouldn't even think of eating it but thanks to my friend, Liz and her sheep farm, we have turned his taste buds over to liking the gamey taste. I love the fact that I know where my lamb comes from and what it's been fed. I know how fresh it is and how the meat has been handled. Rack of lamb is my favorite. It's absolutely the best cut and so rich in flavor. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Making this for dinner tonight and my husband is gonna love it. Hope you enjoy it too!
