Ingredients:

1 rack of lamb (about 8 chops)

4 cloves of garlic – minced

2 sprigs rosemary – finely chopped

1 tsp fresh thyme – finely chopped

2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp fresh black pepper

METHOD

Step 1: Place the lamb on a plate and rub rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper all over the lamb. Drizzle over the olive oil until fully coated and place the lamb in a large ziplock bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible and place in the fridge over night

Step 2: Before cooking time, remove from the fridge 2 hours before so the lamb is room temperature

Step 3: Preheat oven to 450 degrees

Step 4: Remove lamb from ziplock bag and place fat side up. Score the fat with a sharp knife and wrap the rib bones with foil to avoid burning while cooking.

Step 5: Cook lamb for 10 minutes at 450 degrees, then lower the temperature of the oven to 300 degrees and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes – or when the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees (for medium rare)

Step 6: Remove the lamb from the oven, cover with foil and let rest for 15 minutes. Slice the lamb between the bones, and serve immediately!
