RACK OF LAMB WITH MIXED HERB SEASONING

Steps:

• Start out by frenching each rack of lamb (see Pitmaster's Tip). Cover the exposed bones by wrapping them individually in aluminum foil. This will prevent them from burning during the cooking process.
• Lightly chop the dried rosemary. Scrape the dried rosemary into a small bowl and add the remaining seasoning paste ingredients. Mix well until a paste forms. Apply the paste evenly to each lamb rack.
• Build a charcoal and/or wood fire on one side of the grill, leaving the other side void. This will create two zones for cooking, indirect and direct. Preheat to 450°F.
• Place the lamb directly over the heat and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side. When the rack is well browned, move it to the area of indirect heat. Close the grill lid and cook for an additional 12 minutes on each side over indirect heat. Remove the lamb when the internal temperature reaches 125°F for rare or 135°F for medium rare.
• Let the lamb rest under tented foil on a cutting board for 10 to 15 minutes, then use a sharp knife to cut between each bone, separating into individual lamb chops. Lightly season the cut sides of each chop with kosher salt and black pepper. Return the chops to the grill over direct heat for 30 seconds on each side. Remove from the grill and serve immediately.
• Trimming a rack of lamb to expose the rib bones makes a beautiful presentation. The process is called frenching. To french lamb ribs, place the rack, bone side down, on a cutting board. With a sharp knife make a cut perpendicular to the bones through the fat layer, where the bones adjoin the meat. When the knife touches the bones, angle it away from the eye meat and cut toward the end of the bones. Cut the meat from in between the bones, using a small knife. Use the point of the knife to scrape the fat and bits of meat from the bones. The bones should be smooth and clean when finished.
