Roasted Rack of lamb

Ingredients

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

Steps

Step 1:
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. Set the racks fat side up on a large rimmed baking sheet and let stand for 1 hour.

Step 2:
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.

Step 3:
Carve the racks in between the rib bones and transfer to plates. Serve right away.
