Ingredients for 2 racks-
8 garlic cloves

salt and fresh ground better ( I used about 1 tablespoon)
Direction:
Using a blender,combine all the ingredients.
Rub the marinade all over lamb racks.
Marinade for at least 8-12 hours in the fridge.Bring meat to room temperature before roasting.(about 1 1/2-2 hours)
Heat oven to 500 degrees on broil.
Line a baking sheet with foil.
Place racks on baking sheet and roast for about 15 minutes.
