LUXURY HOLIDAY RECIPE: A Tender Rack of Aussie Lamb
Sometimes you can overdo the recipe for a great piece of meat, especially one that is as delicious as a cut of Aussie lamb. That is why this TasteTV Kitchen‘s recipe only relies on a handful of ingredients and prep.
Although we are huge fans of American lamb, we cannot walk away from a tasty source like Australia. Australia is known for many culinary treats, and one of them is great lamb. Aussie grass fed beef and lamb is healthier than some other sources and types of meats, and is very time efficient to cook, often reducing meal prep time by 30%.
Australia ranchers also have made a large effort to be more sustainable. In a study over the last 30 years, Aussie ranchers have:
- Reduced their water use by over 65%
- Reduced their animals’ greenhouse gas emissions intensity by 14%
It doesn’t make the meat taste better, but it definitely helps satisfy your soul.
