Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Tomato and Garlic Crust:
2 6- to 7-ounce jars oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes with herbs, drained well, oil reserved
8 large garlic cloves, peeled
2 large shallots, peeled, halved
1 tablespoon dried oregano
Lamb:
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, peeled
3 large fresh rosemary sprigs
2 2-pound racks of lamb (8 chops each), trimmed, frenched

Steps:

  • Tomato and garlic crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Place 1/4 cup reserved tomato oil, garlic, and shallots in small baking dish; sprinkle with salt and pepper and cover with foil. Bake until garlic is tender, about 45 minutes.
  • Transfer garlic mixture to processor. Add tomatoes and oregano. Blend until paste forms. Season with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Transfer to bowl, cover, and chill.
  • Lamb:
  • Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and rosemary to skillet. Saute until garlic browns, about 5 minutes. Discard garlic and rosemary. Sprinkle lamb on all sides with salt and pepper. Add 1 rack to skillet, rounded side down. Sear until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer rack to large rimmed baking sheet, rounded side up. Repeat with remaining lamb rack.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Roast lamb 18 minutes. Remove from oven. Spread 1/3 cup tomato-garlic paste thinly all over top of each. Return to oven and roast until thermometer inserted into center registers 134°F, about 3 minutes longer. Let lamb rest 10 minutes. Cut between bones into individual chops and serve.
  • WHAT TO DRINK:
  • Black cherry fruit and a slightly spicy finish are a nice match for the garlicky lamb. Try Alpha Estate 2005 Xiñómavro (Greece, $36).
