Roasted Rack of Lamb

Nothing says Greek food like a rack of lamb with all the lemon potatoes! Lamb is an exceptional source of vitamin B12, protein, selenium, zinc and other vitamins and minerals. It is a common meat choice for a Mediterranean diet, which is particularly noted to support heart health.

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 450 degrees F and prepare a medium sized deep baking dish.

   In a large bowl, add the potato wedges, 2 tbsp of olive oil, lemon juice and toss to coat the potatoes.

3. 3

   Add the ¼ tsp of sea salt, ¼ tsp black pepper, paprika, ½ tsp oregano and toss to coat the potatoes again.

4. 4

   Pour the potatoes, along with the liquid from the bowl, in your baking pan.

5. 5

   Place rack of lamb on top of potatoes and rub olive oil all over it.

6. 6

   Add a ¼ tsp of sea salt, ¼ tsp black pepper, ½ tsp dried oregano on top and rub all over again.

7. 7

   Add the rosemary last and rub all over once more.

8. 8

   Fill pan with filtered water, about 1 inch, so that the potatoes don’t burn. You will need to add more water along the way.

9. 9

   Cook for about 1 hour or until you can easily put a fork through the potatoes. Check on the pan every 15 minutes or so to ensure there is still liquid.
