ROAST RACK OF LAMB WITH MINT SAUCE
The lamb that we buy today hardly requires a typical English mint sauce (the puckery flavor was originally designed to cut through the stronger taste of mutton), but the combination is by now a traditional and still-welcome one. Buttered carrots and a watercress salad would complement the lamb nicely. Uncork a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon or red Bordeaux.

GLAZED ROAST LAMB
My grandmother always makes it for Passover seder. I imagine it would work very well for Easter as well. She clipped the recipe out of some newspaper a decade ago or so. You can used dried herbs if you use 1/3 the amounts of herbs, but it isn't as good.

HONEY GLAZED ROAST LAMB WITH HONEY MINT SAUCE
When you invite friends over for Sunday lunch it's a time to relax, not be stuck in the kitchen among the pots and pans. This Roast Lamb is an excellent choice, especially when partnered with rosemary and honey and a sauce using fresh mint. The honey glaze turns the joint a lovely golden colour, and the honey-sweetened mint sauce is a flavoursome change from the sharp vinegary taste of traditional recipes. Serve with a hot gratin of Dauphinoise Potatoes and some braised leeks for a really special meal.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350°F.
- Combine the flour, salt, pepper, cinnamon and rosemary and rub well into the lamb on all sides.
- Lay the onion and carrot in the bottom of the roasting tin and the lamb on top.
- Roast, allowing 25 to 30 minutes per 500g (1 lb 2oz) of weight, less for a pinker meat.
- Turn the joint halfway through to cook evenly.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce; warm the vinegar and honey until the honey has dissolved, then stir in the mint and leave to cool.
- About 30 minutes before the end of cooking time, carefully lift out the meat and strain off the fat from the roasting tin (leave the vegetables).
- Replace the meat, best side up.
- Spread with the honey, and add the cider to the pan.
- Return to the oven, increasing the heat to 375*F, and finish roasting, basting once or twice.
- Lift the joint and vegetables on to a hot serving platter.
- Blend the cornstarch with 1 TBS of cold water, add to the roasting tin and boil, stirring for a few minutes to make gravy.
- Strain into a hot sauceboat.
- Serve the lamb with the hot cider gravy and honey mint sauce.
Tips:
- Choosing the Right Cut of Lamb: Select a bone-in or boneless leg of lamb for a succulent and flavorful roast. If using a bone-in leg, ensure it's well-trimmed.
- Preparing the Honey Glaze: Combine honey, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme in a bowl to create a aromatic glaze. Brush this mixture generously over the lamb before roasting to achieve a caramelized and golden crust.
- Achieving Perfect Roast: Cook the lamb in a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C). Roast for approximately 20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare or 145°F (63°C) for medium.
- Resting the Lamb: Once roasted, let the lamb rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a tender and moist meat.
- Making the Honey-Mint Sauce: In a saucepan, combine honey, white wine vinegar, chicken broth, mint, and cornstarch. Bring to a simmer and stir until thickened. Serve the sauce alongside the sliced lamb for an extra burst of flavor.
