Garlic Crusted Rack of Lamb

Garlic Crusted Rack of Lamb

• 1 head of garlic, cloves peeled
• 1/4 cup rosemary leaves
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 racks of lamb, frenched
• Salt and freshly ground pepper

In a mini food processor, combine the garlic, rosemary and olive oil and process until the garlic is finely chopped.

Season the lamb racks with salt and pepper and rub the garlic-rosemary oil all over them.

Preheat the oven to 450°. Roast the lamb in the upper third of the oven for 15 minutes.

Turn the racks and roast for 10 minutes longer for medium-rare meat. Transfer the racks to a carving board, stand them upright and let rest for 10 minutes.  Make sure a meat thermometer reads 135 degrees.

Carve the racks in between the rib bones and transfer to plates.
