French rack of lamb
I make lamb chops all the time because they are quick and easy and my family loves them. They're also perfect for entertainment when you want to do something special that is easy to do too. You can put the racks in front and season
Then put them in the oven when you're done eating. Make sure to let the lamb rest at room temperature before roasting. For more lamb recipes, try my grilled rosemary lamb chops and the boneless roasted leg of lamb.

What is a French rack of lamb?
Frenched rack of lamb is when the fat and meat is removed from the bones, which makes for a nicer presentation. You can often find saddle of French lamb in the supermarket. You can also ask your butcher to make it too French for you. If you'd like to learn how to do it yourself, Saveur.com has a step-by-step guide on French for a Rack of Lamb.
How to tell when your lamb chops are ready
We rarely like our lamb chops medium. The surest way to make sure your meat is in the middle range is to use an instantly readable thermometer. Using a thermometer, you can tell – don't guess – that your meat has hit the medium rare range of 130 to 135 degrees.
What to serve with rack of lamb
This rack of lamb goes perfectly with Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes, baked sweet potatoes or rice pilaf. For some vegetarian side dishes, try a chopped salad with feta, roasted Brussels sprouts and butternut, or roasted green parmesan beans.

Tender, oven-roasted rack of lamb flavored with rosemary, fresh lemon juice and garlic is perfect for entertainment and so easy to prepare!
- 4th Cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
- 2 Saddle of lamb, French (2 pounds each, 8 ribs each)
- 1/4 lemon
- 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, taste
-
Season the saddle of lamb with lemon juice and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
-
Rub the garlic over it and sprinkle with rosemary.
-
Place the fat side of the rack on a large rimmed baking sheet, lined with foil if desired, and let stand for 1 hour.
-
Preheat the oven to 450 ° F.
-
Roast the lamb in the top third of the oven for about 25 minutes for medium-rare meats, or until a thermometer hits 130F (or longer if you like your cooked medium or medium-sized meat). Simply run the tip of the thermometer through the side of the chops into the thickest part of the meat, being careful not to touch the bone (which is hotter than the meat that surrounds it).
-
When that point hits 130 ° F, it's done. The temperature continues to rise another 5 degrees when the lamb rests.
-
Transfer the rack of lamb to a cutting board and let sit in the tent for 10 minutes with foil.
-
Carve the lamb between the ribs and transfer to plates.
-
Serve immediately. Cut off fat before eating *.
* The diet is based on sliced lamb. When cooking the entire rack, I found it best to cut the fat before eating, not before frying.
