Rack of Lamb

1) Take a scissors and cut between ribs 1 & 2 and 7 & 8. Then cut across from one slit to the other. Do it over the sink because there will be a lot of liquid pouring out.

• Rack of lamb
  
• Australian lamb from Costco ($7.99 lb)
  
• 2 slices of bread
  
• Rosemary, fresh
  
• Garlic, fresh
  
• Basil, fresh
  
• Mint, fresh
  

Preheat oven to 425F.

Place bread and herbs in a food processor. Process until bread crumbs form and are of uniform shape.

Rub olive oil on fat side of ribs.

Place a skillet on the stove over high heat. Add a small amount of oil. Wait for oil to get near smoke point. Place lamb in skillet, fat side down and sear for two minutes.

Turn lamb over, sprinkle with bread crumbs, and drizzle olive oil over crumbs.

Wrap foil around bones and place in oven. Cook for about 11 minutes per pound. These were about 1.45 lbs so I cooked them for 16 minutes.

Remove from oven, lightly cover with foil and let rest for 10 minutes. They came out a perfect medium-rare.
