Herb-Marinated Rack of Lamb
Ask your local butcher to clean the rib bones of your lamb racks. Cut the racks in 1/2 so that each has four ribs. Mix together the olive oil, crushed garlic, freshly ground black pepper and crushed herb sprigs in a large bowl. Add the lamb and coat well. Wrap well and marinate the racks overnight.
The next day remove the lamb from the marinade and season well with salt.
Preheat the oven to 200 C.
Heat a large pan and add a splash of olive oil. Sear the lamb racks fat side down until golden. Transfer to a baking dish fat side up, and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes. Let the rack rest for 10 minutes before cutting.
To serve, cut each lamb rack into 4 equal pieces, 2 bones per chop and serve on individual plates or a platter with the accompaniments of your choice.
