MAKE YOUR OWN LAMB CROWN

• Place the racks of lamb on a board with the bone tips facing up

(the curved side of the bone should also be facing up).

• Cut an incision approximately 2cm deep between each rib, then score a 1cm-deep line all the way across the ribs lengthways, just beneath the bones (this is to help you tie the racks together).

• Cover a can or small jar with a food bag or similar and place this on a baking tray. Wrap the lamb racks around the can, with the scored side facing out, then tie the racks together by placing a piece of kitchen string into the scored line you cut earlier. Wrap the string around twice, tie it together to secure, then remove the can from the centre – the lamb racks should hold together in a crown shape. If you need to hold them together more firmly, you can wrap another piece of string just below the bone (about 1-2cm above the scored line).
