Lamb racks are ridiculously expensive in Australia, so when we got one at a reasonable price, I wanted a great recipe for it. This was simple and so delicious we wished there was another rack-we made a half recipe and marinated it about 6 hours. Our rack was a bit bigger than 550g and we wanted it cooked to medium so cooked it for 20 minutes. Thank you so much for posting this Meli-lynne (and thanks for editing the recipe too ;-) )
