Ingredients
  

1 rack of lamb (8 chops, frenched)

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped

2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Zest of 1 lemon

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, olive oil, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard until well combined.

    Marinate the Lamb: Rub the marinade all over the rack of lamb, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

      Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

        Roast the Lamb: Remove the lamb from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Place the rack of lamb in a roasting pan, bone-side down. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (51°C) for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time based on your preferred doneness.

          Make the Butter Sauce: While the lamb is roasting, melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat. Once melted, add lemon juice and lemon zest, stirring to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.

            Rest the Lamb: When the lamb is done, remove it from the oven and cover loosely with foil. Allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes to let the juices redistribute.

              Slice and Serve: Slice the rack into individual chops and arrange them on a platter. Drizzle the silky butter sauce over the lamb and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
