INGREDIENTS

  • 2 pound rack of American Lamb, fat trimmed and discarded

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon garam masala

  • 1 teaspoon dried mint

  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

  • Lemon wedges to serve

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 400F.

While the oven is warming, mix 1 Tbsp of olive oil with the garam masala, mint, and salt. Massage this mixture over the lamb and let it rest covered for 30 minutes.

Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat. Heat the olive oil in the pan. Once the oil is hot, sear the lamb till golden brown for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Using a pair of tongs, transfer the lamb with a pair of tongs to a baking sheet or roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 15 to 10 minutes, until the lamb is cooked to the desired degree of doneness. For a crispier crust on the lamb, turn the oven to a medium broil and broil for about 2 to 3 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.

Remove the lamb from the oven, cover loosely with a foil tent for about 5 minutes to rest. Drizzle with the pan juices and serve immediately.
