Heat an 11-inch nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is just smoking, lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. Add the racks of lamb and sear, turning once, until well browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the racks, away from the bone, registers 130u00b0F for medium-rare, 20 to 25 minutes, or until done to your liking. Transfer the racks to a carving board, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 15 minutes.

a Meanwhile, in a blender, combine the 3/4 cup olive oil, the garlic, vinegar, the 1 teaspoons salt and pepper, to taste. Blend on high until well combined, about 1 minute. Add the parsley, mint and rosemary leaves and pulse, scraping down the sides of the blender occasionally, until the herbs are chopped. Pulse less for a chunkier consistency and more for a smoother consistency.
