Crusts packed with fresh herbs cover this Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb, turning a simple protein into something special for the table. Slicing into the rack reveals a tender inside that stays juicy with each cut. The flavor shines most at gatherings and formal dinners in the spring.

Shepherds Pie
Comfort food gets real with this Shepherds Pie, where mashed potatoes cover a filling of savory lamb and vegetables. Baking turns the top golden and keeps the inside soft and flavorful.

Mediterranean Lamb Shank with Polenta
Creamy polenta sits under this Mediterranean Lamb Shank with Polenta and catches every bit of the tender lamb and savory sauce.

Marinated pieces stack onto skewers for these Lamb Kebabs, which grill up charred on the outside and tender inside.
