Mustard Lamb Racks With Basil Cream Sauce

Submitted by The Flying Chef

"I love the sauce in this recipe it goes well with other meats I have served this with pork. I have not tried chicken but I am sure it would pair with that as well. It is quite an easy recipe to prepare and is not to time consuming apart from the marinating time which is not included in prep time."
