Nutrition Tips
- Trim visible fat before cooking to significantly reduce calorie and saturated fat intake.
- Pair with high-fiber vegetables like roasted broccoli or asparagus to balance the meal's density.
- Use herbs like rosemary and garlic for flavor instead of heavy butter-based sauces.
- Be mindful of portion sizes, as lamb rack is naturally higher in fat than other cuts like leg of lamb.
- Opt for roasting or grilling on a rack to allow excess fat to drip away during cooking.
