Rosemary Garlic Rack of Lamb Ingredients (4 Servings)

• 1 rack of lamb, 8 ribs
• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp. fresh rosemary
• 2 tsp. fresh thyme
• 8 garlic cloves
• Lemon zest, to taste
• Sea salt, to taste
• Fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450F.

Place the rack of lamb in a large baking dish.

Season both sides of the rack of lamb generously with the sea salt and fresh ground pepper.

In a food processor, combine the olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic cloves, and lemon zest.

Pulse the ingredients until they’re finely chopped.

If you don’t have a food processor, chop the rosemary, thyme, and garlic cloves very finely and combine them with a bowl of the olive oil and lemon zest, mixing until well combined.

Rub the rosemary garlic marinade over the seasoned rack of lamb.

Place the rack of lamb with the fat side up on the baking sheet.

Roast for 15 minutes

Rotate the baking sheet to ensure even cooking and continue roasting for another 10 minutes for medium-rare meat or 15 minutes for a medium temperature.

Remove the roasted rack of lamb from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board.

Allow the oven roasted rack of lamb to rest for 10 minutes before slicing it into individual chops for serving.

Use a sharp knife to slice between the bones, then serve immediately.

• 5 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 large turnip, peeled and chopped
• 3 tbsp very finely chopped shallots
• ½ cup dry French vermouth
• 1 cup chicken stock or canned low-sodium broth
• 8 cherry tomatoes, halved

DIRECTIONS

In a large shallow dish, mix 1 tablespoon of basil, 1 tablespoon of parsley, 1 teaspoon of the tarragon, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and 1 minced garlic clove.

Rub the herb mixture all over the lamb chops and season them generously with salt and pepper.

Let the lamb chops stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.

In the meantime…

Preheat the oven to 425°.

In a large skillet, bring the 2 cups of water to a boil.

Add the carrots and a pinch of salt and cover.

Simmer the carrots over low heat for 4 minutes.

Add the turnip, cover and cook until both vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes.

Drain the vegetables and transfer them to a plate.

Return the skillet to low heat. When hot, add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the shallots, and the remaining 2 garlic cloves and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes.

Add the carrots and turnip, cover and remove the vegetables from the heat.

In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil until shimmering.

Add the lamb chops and cook them over moderately high heat until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes.

Turn the lamb chops over and roast them in the oven for about 8 minutes for medium-rare.

Transfer the lamb chops to a plate, cover with foil and keep warm.

Discard the fat from the skillet and set it over moderately high heat.

Add the vermouth and cook until almost evaporated, about 3 minutes.

Add the chicken stock and boil until reduced to 3/4 cup, about 3 minutes.

Add any accumulated lamb juices and pour the liquid over the reserved vegetables.

Stir in the cherry tomatoes and simmer until hot.

Stir in the remaining basil, parsley, and chopped tarragon. Season with salt and pepper.

Spoon the vegetables into shallow bowls and top each plate with a lamb chop and serve the Lamb Chops with Vegetables at once.
