What herbs or flavors pair well with lamb besides mint? I’m planning to cook some lamb steaks tomorrow, but the last few times they turned out a bit flavorless. Which herbs or spices can I incorporate during cooking to spice things up a bit?

    There are plenty of delicious herbs and spices that can elevate your lamb steaks! Here are a few suggestions:

    1. Rosemary: Its earthy and aromatic flavor pairs beautifully with lamb. You can chop fresh rosemary or use dried, and it works well in marinades or as a rub.

    2. Garlic: Adding minced garlic or garlic powder can boost the flavor significantly. You can roast whole garlic cloves alongside the lamb for a sweet, rich addition.

    3. Thyme: This herb adds a lovely depth of flavor. You can use fresh or dried thyme; it’s great for seasoning while cooking.

    4. Cumin: For a warm, earthy flavor, try cumin. It adds a nice twist and works well in spice rubs.

    5. Oregano: This herb brings a Mediterranean flair to your dish. Using it in a marinade with olive oil can infuse the lamb with great flavor.

    6. Coriander: Ground coriander adds a citrusy, slightly sweet flavor that complements lamb nicely.

    7. Smoked Paprika: For a bit of smokiness and color, smoked paprika can really enhance the flavor profile of your lamb.

    You could also consider combining a couple of these herbs and spices to create a more complex flavor. Happy cooking!
