What herb or seasoning pairs nicely with lamb besides mint? I’m preparing lamb steaks tomorrow, but the last few times I made them, they turned out a little lackluster. What herb or spice can I incorporate during the cooking process to add some excitement to the flavor?

    There are several herbs and spices that pair wonderfully with lamb! Here are a few suggestions:

    1. Rosemary: This classic herb enhances the rich flavor of lamb. You can chop fresh rosemary and sprinkle it on the steaks or make a marinade.

    2. Thyme: Another great option, thyme adds an earthy flavor. You can use both fresh or dried thyme for a subtle but tasty kick.

    3. Garlic: While not an herb, garlic works exceptionally well with lamb. You can marinate the steaks with minced garlic or rub whole cloves on them before cooking.

    4. Cumin: For a warm, earthy spice, try adding cumin. It gives the meat a depth of flavor that can be very satisfying.

    5. Oregano: Particularly good for Mediterranean flavors, oregano can add a nice herbal note without overwhelming the meat.

    6. Paprika: If you want a bit of smokiness, smoked paprika can enhance the flavor beautifully, especially if you like a hint of heat.

    7. Dill: It might be a bit unconventional, but dill can add a unique freshness that complements lamb nicely.

    Feel free to mix and match these herbs and spices to suit your taste. A simple marinade of olive oil, garlic, and your chosen herbs can make a big difference. Enjoy your cooking!
