Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. In a bowl, mix together the honey, mustard and some seasoning. Brush all over the racks of lamb, place on a lightly oiled baking sheet, then roast for 25 minutes. Place the tomatoes on a small baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tbsp oil and roast alongside the lamb for the final 15 minutes.
- To make the mint sauce, finely chop the mint, then place in a small bowl with the sugar and a pinch of salt. Stir to coat. Pour over 3 tbsp boiling water and the wine vinegar. Stir, then leave to infuse and cool.
- Remove the lamb from the oven, then cover loosely with foil and leave to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into cutlets. Serve with the roasted tomatoes, mint sauce and lots of creamy mash, if you like.
