The Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb has a rich history dating back to ancient times, with lamb being a staple in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines.

This succulent dish is often associated with fine dining establishments in regions like Provence, Tuscany, and the Middle East, where fresh herbs and spices are abundant.
