Rack of Lamb
£7.50
An impressive and beautifully tender cut of lamb that's perfect for roasting and special occasions.
Rack of Lamb from The Butchers Blade in Sandbach. Make this the starting point for a shared lunch, family dinner or a table with planned leftovers. Choosing a roasting cut is about more than the headline weight: the number of guests, bone and preparation all affect how it fits your meal. Check the product information before deciding on the selected size.
Choosing for your meal
Tell Lee how many people you are feeding and whether you want another meal from the leftovers. Confirm whether your chosen item is bone-in, boneless, rolled or stuffed if the listing does not say. Check that your roasting tin and oven can accommodate it. Cooking time varies with weight, preparation and appliance, so use the specific instructions rather than a single rule for every roast.
Serving ideas
Roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables and a suitable gravy are a useful starting point. Plan their oven space around the main dish and use resting time to finish the sides where appropriate. Any vegetables, stuffing or accompaniments are separate unless explicitly listed. Follow the label for thorough cooking where required, and plan prompt cooling and refrigeration of leftovers.

Cooking Rack of Lamb
Check the cut and weight with Lee and follow the product instructions. Use a clean thermometer rather than judging doneness by time alone. For poultry, pork, minced meat, sausages, rolled joints and mechanically tenderised meat, cook thoroughly: the centre should reach 70°C for 2 minutes, or 75°C for 30 seconds. Clean the thermometer before and after checking.
How to plan a Sunday roastLee’s tip
A little extra at the table
Prepare your sides first so you can give the meat your full attention and let it rest before serving.
What goes with it?
Try rosemary potatoes and greens, with Rioja or sparkling pomegranate.
