Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Sprinkle the lamb generously with salt and pepper and rub it with the garlic cloves.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. When very hot, add the racks of lamb and cook, turning, until all sides are browned, about 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer the lamb to a roasting pan with a rack and roast, rounded side up, for 20 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, to make the gremolata, combine the zest, garlic, parsley and salt in a small bowl and stir until thoroughly mixed.

  4. Step 4

    Remove the lamb from the oven, turn it so that the rounded side is down and press the gremolata onto the chops. Return the lamb to the oven and roast until the meat reaches the desired doneness, about 3 more minutes for medium rare. Transfer the racks to a cutting board, cool for 5 minutes and, using a sharp knife, cut the racks into individual chops. Transfer to a platter and serve immediately.
