Sear first. Salt, pepper and sear your rack of lamb in olive
oil before roasting to lock in flavor.
Add herbs and aromatics. For extra flavor, roast lamb on
a bed of fresh herbs, like rosemary and
thyme, and aromatics, like fennel and shallots.
Let it rest. Allow lamb to rest for 15 minutes before
carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and will
keep the lamb extra moist.
