Narsai'S Rack Of Lamb Assyrian - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 large onion, coarsely chopped
2 -3 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/2 cup pomegranate juice, less of concentrate
1/4 cup dry red wine
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 -3 racks of lamb, 8-9 ribs each

Preparation

In a blender or food processor, puree the marinade ingredients.
Rub the marinade well into the racks.
Place racks in shallow glass or enameled pan and pour the remaining marinade over them.
Marinate in the refrigerator overnight or in a cool room temperature for 6-8 hours.
If it has been in the refrigerator, it needs to come to room temperature, which may take 45 minutes or so before roasting.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
When ready to cook, wipe off any excess marinade and roast the racks for 15-20 minutes for medium rare, longer if you like them done to a greater degree.
