Preparation Time:

Approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, including marinating and cooking time.

Ingredients:

• 1 head of garlic, cloves separated
• 1/4 cup fresh rosemary leaves
• 1/4 cup premium extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 racks of lamb (around 2 pounds each, frenched)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or more to taste)
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (or more to taste)

Cooking Instructions:

Start by gathering all your ingredients. Ensure everything is at hand to streamline your cooking process.

Next, place the garlic, rosemary, and olive oil in a mini food processor. Blend them together until the garlic is finely chopped and well-mixed with the herbs and oil - forming a delightful paste.

Season the lamb racks with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, ensuring a nice even coating. Generously rub the aromatic garlic-rosemary oil all over the racks, infusing them with flavor. Place the racks, fat-side up, on a large rimmed baking sheet, and let them sit at room temperature for 1 hour. This step helps to enhance the flavors and tenderness.

While the lamb is marinating, preheat your oven to a sizzling 450°F (232°C). Once heated, roast the lamb in the upper part of the oven for 15 minutes. After that, carefully turn the racks and continue roasting for an additional 10 minutes, aiming for a juicy medium-rare finish.

Once done, transfer the racks to a wooden carving board. Allow them to rest upright for about 10 minutes — this step is crucial for juicy meat!

Finally, carve between the rib bones to create perfect servings and transfer the chops onto plates. Serve immediately and enjoy the aromatic and vibrant flavors of your rosemary garlic rack of lamb!
