SERVES
2
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried mint
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 1/2 lb rack of lamb
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 bunch fresh mint, finely sliced, to garnish
- Lemon juice, for serving
Directions
- Start by combining the salt, mint, cinnamon, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and cumin in a bowl to make a dry rub.
- Rub the mixture all over the rack of lamb to allow the spices to penetrate the meat (best to do this a few hours before cooking, even overnight). When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 400°F and bring the lamb up to room temperature.
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Sear on all sides for five minutes, turning as needed.
- Transfer the lamb to the oven to roast for 14 to 15 minutes per pound (for a rack this size, about 19 to 21 minutes).
- Remove and allow the lamb to rest before slicing into the individual chops. Enjoy!
