Roast lamb with mint sauce

This traditional British dish consists of roasted racks of lamb that are typically garnished with mint sprigs and paired with a flavorful mint sauce. The meat is usually flavored with garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper. The sauce consists of fresh mint, sugar, vinegar, beef broth, and minced shallots. In the past, it was used for its strong flavor that cuts through the stronger flavors of mutton. Today, the dish is often prepared for Easter, when it is ideally accompanied by buttered carrots and a watercress salad on the side.
