A succulent rack of lamb served with a fresh and zesty mint pesto. Perfect for a special occasion or a gourmet dinner at home.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Season the rack of lamb with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the rack of lamb and sear on all sides until browned, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the lamb reaches your desired level of doneness.
While the lamb is roasting, make the mint pesto. Combine the mint leaves, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice in a food processor. Process until smooth.
Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Slice the rack of lamb into individual chops and serve with the mint pesto.
