INGREDIENTS

• 2 cloves fresh garlic
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, leaves only
• 1/2 small fresh red bell pepper
• 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 (1 1/4- to 1 1/2-pound) Frenched lamb racks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• aluminum foil

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Crush garlic cloves, using garlic press, into small bowl. Finely chop rosemary and red pepper (about 1/4 cup); add to garlic. Stir in bread crumbs and black pepper.
• Place racks of lamb, bone side down and ribs criss-crossed, on rack in baking pan. Rub top of lamb with olive oil. Press bread crumb mixture over olive oil. Roast 10 minutes to brown bones.
• Reduce heat to 375°F. Cover exposed bones with foil to prevent over-browning. Roast 35-40 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (for medium-rare). Remove from oven, cover with foil and allow lamb to stand 10 minutes; temperature will rise slightly. Slice between ribs and serve.
