Roasted Rack of Lamb

1. 1

   Mix together the lemon zest, rosemary, salt and sugar.

2. 2

   Season the racks on all sides with this mixture, cover and put in the refrigerator overnight.

3. 3

   This acts like a quick cure, which will add flavor to the lamb when it is cooked.

4. 4

   Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.

5. 5

   Put a large saute pan over medium heat and add the oil.

6. 6

   Put one of the seasoned racks in the pan fat-side down and sear until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.

7. 7

   Flip the rack and sear the other side for a few minutes.

8. 8

   Remove to a rimmed baking sheet fat-side up, and repeat the browning process with the other rack.

9. 9

   Put the baking sheet with both racks on it in the oven and roast until the meat registers 120 degrees F to 125 degrees F in the center, 20 to 25 minutes.
