Servings:1-2
Ingredients:
1 ea Rack of lamb [American or Australian]
3 ea garlic clove
1 tbl salt
2 tsp pepper
1/3 c fresh herbs
4 oz olive oil

Method of Preparation:
Pre heat oven to 375 degrees F.
Chop herbs, and garlic to a fine mince, combine with salt and pepper and half the oil.
Rub onto the lamb and coat well. If more salt and pepper is desired add just before browning.
Heat a large saute pan and add the rest of the oil and bring to a smoke.
Sear lamb on all side until golden brown.
After seared place in oven until desired temperature. For best results cook for about 15 min.
Remove meat from oven and let rest for about 10 min.
Slice between the bone and serve. As an option you can add a breadcrumb crust to the top just before you add the lamb to the oven

Notes
For fresh herbs you can use whatever you like but strong herbs work best. Such as thyme, rosemary, oregano, and you can add mint if you like mint with your lamb. You can marinate the lamb 2 hours or longer before you sear the meat. For a sauce you can chop more herbs and garlic and add them to the pan you roasted the lamb in, and heat until you smell the garlic and herbs. Finish with just butter or a reduced lamb stock.
