Ingredients
  

  • 2 Rack of Lamb frenched (6-8 chops per rack)
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper freshly cracked
  • Kitchen Twine
  • 1 Shallot minced
  • 1/3 cup Fresh Parsley minced
  • 1/3 cup Mint Leaves
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest roughly one lemon's worth
  • 3 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 375°F.
  • Lie the rack of lambs end to end and join the racks by tying the end bones with kitchen twine as close to the lamb meat as possible.
  • Form the racks into a crown with the meat on the inside, the fat side out, and tie the other two end bones together. Wrap a large piece of twine around the whole crown in the center of the meaty part and tie tight to help maintain the circular shape.
  • Combine the olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the outside of the crown with mixture and place the lamb in a baking pan or bundt pan.
  • Bake 35 minutes or until an instant read thermometer reads 130°F (for medium rare).
  • Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Bring to room temperature before serving.
