Ingredients
- 2 pounds Frenched lamb rib racks (ideally 2 racks)
- 3 garlic cloves, cut into quarters
- 2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, minced
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 F.
- Remove the lamb from the refrigerator about 45 minutes before cooking and set out at room temperature. This will help the lamb cook evenly.
- Line a half-sheet pan with foil.
- Using a 2-3/4″ Paring Knife, make slits in the thick part of the lamb and insert garlic pieces. Note: If the lamb is not a thick rack, cut the garlic clove quarters in half.
- Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat and place lamb meat side down and allow meat to sear until brown. Turn lamb so all sides are seared.
- Place the 2 racks on the lined sheet pan so they are making an arch. Sprinkle with sea salt, pepper and rosemary.
- Roast for 20 to 24 minutes for rare to medium-rare. Using an instant-read thermometer, it should be 120 F for rare as it will raise another 5 degrees as it rests.
- Tent the lamb with foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- To serve, cut between the bones to separate into individual lamb lollipops.
