Rack Of Lamb With Mint Gremolata - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (1 1/2 lb) racks of lamb
salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 cup fresh mint leaves
2 garlic cloves
1 lemon, zest of

Preparation

Heat the oven to 450 degrees.
Season the lamb with salt and pepper and let it rest until it reaches room temperature, about 30 minutes.
Place in a roasting pan and roast for about 20 to 25 minutes for medium-rare.
When the lamb has cooked for about 15 minutes, mince the mint, garlic and lemon zest until very fine, almost a paste.
Note: Fresh mint will discolor almost immediately, so do this at the last -- about 5 minutes before you'll use it.
Spread the mint gremolata over the rack of lamb and return to the oven for the final 5 minutes.
Remove the rack of lamb from the oven and let it rest under a foil tent for about 10 minutes.
Cut it into chops and serve.
