If you do this right, you will never order it in a restaurant again!
Racks of lamb – approx. 4-6 bones per person served. You will likely prefer Australian to New Zealand racks, but California-grown can also be very good.
These quantities are right for about 24 bones (3 normal racks).
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
12 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Do NOT trim any fat from the lamb racks.
Crush the rosemary in a small food processor or mortar and pestle. Mince the garlic with a garlic press (or use equal quantity – 4-5 tablespoons - of minced garlic from a jar). Make a paste with the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Use this paste to coat any part of the rack of lamb that is not covered with fat. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the fat cap on the top side of the rack.
Pre-heat the grill to "High." Grill the lamb for about 12 minutes per side or until done to your liking. This method should get cooked to medium-rare only, but suit yourself.
