Tangy Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb image

DH and I found this to be an easy, tasty way to prepare rack of lamb. It is from Williams-Sonoma Kitchen. Prep time includes marinating time. I believe DH and I had to cook longer than 15 mins for medium-rare. We skipped the lemon wedges as it was just the two of us and we weren't concerned about presentation.

Time 1h37m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lemon, zest of
4 garlic cloves, finley chopped
1 tablespoon crushed dried rosemary
1 tablespoon crushed dried thyme
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 racks of lamb, frenched
salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together the lemon zest, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and 1/4 cup olive oil. Spread the mixture evenly over the racks of lamb. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Season the racks of lamb with salt and pepper. In a large ovenproof saute pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 Tb olive oil. Add the lamb and cook until browned on both sides, about 7 minutes total.
  • Transfer the pan to the oven and cook until the lamb is well browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the racks, away from the bone, registers 130F for medium-rare, about 15 minutes, or until done to your liking.
  • Transfer the racks to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Carve into individual chops and serve the lemon wedges alongside.

This was my first time cooking lamb and it turned out perfectly! The herb crust was so flavorful and the lamb was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.
