  2. Make gravy with the pan juices, adding a little red wine and seasoning.
  3. Slowly cook the onion in olive oil with fresh thyme and seasoning.
Serve
  1. Serve the rack of lamb on a bed of mashed potato with onion and thyme, and the red wine flavoured lamb jus.
  2. This dish can be accompanied by a selection of steamed vegetables.
