Maille Honey Dijon and Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb with Mango Mint Salad
Maille Honey Dijon and grilling go hand in hand. I love summertime grilling, and Rack of Lamb is one of my grilling go-to’s. My husband’s favorite dinnertime line is “Meat plus heat equals dinner!” Although I agree, I make it a point to intersect this “meaty” equation with a good flavor elevation. My thought, Honey Dijon and Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb
I picked up a beautiful rack of lamb for dinner the other night and wanted to infuse it with awesome flavor and sweetness to pair with the grilled flavor of the lamb. I decided to make a marinade using Maille Honey Dijon Mustard as the star.
As I began to build the flavors of my marinade, I knew a few herbs, spices, and garlic would be perfect accompaniments. When I tasted my Maille Honey Dijon Mustard marinade it’s a wonder it even made it onto the lamb! Seriously, I could eat it all by itself! But alas, I managed to control myself and let this marinade work its magic on the rack.
Maille Honey Dijon For The WIN!
When the rack of lamb came off the grill the aroma was insane. The honey in the marinade gave the meat a beautiful char while the herbs offered a nice crust. After giving the rack a chance to rest, I sliced them into chops that were incredibly juicy and tender. The flavor of the meat coated with the deliciously grilled Maille Honey Dijon Mustard marinade served with a side of fresh mango mint salad was spectacular.
