Ingredients

1 Rack of Lambwith a little of the fat removed
1handful Greek Riganioregano…if you can’t find the Greek stuff just use regular oregano
1/2 LemonJuiced
2cloves Garlic Clovesfinely minced plus a handful of garlic with skin intact
1teaspoon Chillidried
Salt and Pepperto taste
1/4cup Olive Oil

Instructions

Cut slits into the lamb. Place onto a baking tray.
Combine the above ingredients (excluding the garlic cloves that you will roast) to form a nice paste.
Apply it liberally to the rack of lamb ensuring it’s massaged in really well. I leave it marinate for a few hours but overnight is better.
Bring it to room temperature and place it in a hot pre heated 200 deg C oven. Let it cook for about 15 mins.
Remove it and let it rest for 10 mins before slicing. Leave the garlic cloves cook for a little longer so they can caramelise.

Recipe Notes

FAT CHIPS Use a few gigantic good ol’ regular potatoes for this side dish. Wash them and sliced them into thick wedges. Toss them in some extra virgin olive oil, lots of sea salt and black pepper. Placed them in a baking pan in a very hot 220 deg C oven and let them cook for about 45 mins. Check on them and turn them around half way through. (Just remember that 20 mins into cooking them place the lamb in the oven and turn the temp down to 200 C…just stagger everything and time it accordingly.)
