Rack of Lamb!!

One of my favorite meats of all time has to be lamb. And I actually think it was a recent discovery, cause I certainly don't remember eating lamb so frequently a few years ago. But I think it's one of the perfect meats to throw on the grill and it doesn't require a lot of work, a few ingredients go a long way with enhancing the flavor of the meat. So tonight, in honor of the warm weather we're getting, we decided to cook up some rack of lamb with a side of sauteed brocollini. The rack of lamb is best cooked on a grill, especially a charcoal one, but you can also cook it in the oven.


Ingredients:
1 rack of lamb
2 tbsp dried rosemary
2 tbsp dried thyme
1 tbsp of sea salt
1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
8 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

In a small bowl, combine the rosemary, thyme, sea salt, black pepper, garlic and olive oil and mix well. Pat the lamb dry on both sides and then rub the mixture all over the lamb. Cover the lamb and let it marinate for 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350. Place the lamb in a baking pan and cover with aluminum foil, cook for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and cook for another 15 minutes for a medium pink center. Place the lamb under the broiler for 5 minutes to char. Remove the rack of lamb from the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with a side of your favorite veggies!
