Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 1 large onion, coarsely chopped
- 2 -3 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
- 1⁄2 cup pomegranate juice, less of concentrate
- 1⁄4 cup dry red wine
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 -3 racks of lamb, 8-9 ribs each
Directions
- In a blender or food processor, puree the marinade ingredients.
- Rub the marinade well into the racks.
- Place racks in shallow glass or enameled pan and pour the remaining marinade over them.
- Marinate in the refrigerator overnight or in a cool room temperature for 6-8 hours.
- If it has been in the refrigerator, it needs to come to room temperature, which may take 45 minutes or so before roasting.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- When ready to cook, wipe off any excess marinade and roast the racks for 15-20 minutes for medium rare, longer if you like them done to a greater degree.
