Refrigerate and marinate for 2 hours if possible.\u00a0 Remove lamb from fridge 30-60 mins. before cooking.<\/li>\n<li>Preheat oven to 450F.<\/li>\n<li>Remove lamb from marinade and scrape off most of the yogurt marinade, discard. Sprinkle all sides of the lamb with salt and pepper.<\/li>\n<li>Place rack of lamb, bones facing down on a roasting rack. If you have an oven proof temperature probe, place it into the center of the lamb chops, through the side at a horizontal angle.\u00a0 For rare, set it to 125F and for medium rare, set it to 135F.<\/li>\n<li>Roast lamb for approximately 30-40 minutes until desired doneness, begin checking the temperature if you don\u2019t have a probe after 30 mins. When internal temp reaches 5 degrees before desired doneness, increase oven temp to 500F for last 5 mins. or so to deepen the color of the crust.<\/li>\n<li>Remove and set aside on a cutting board, tented with foil, rest for 10 mins.<\/li>\n<li>Slice lamb chops and serve alongside remaining Greek Yogurt sauce.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Chef Notes:<\/h3>\n<p>This recipe is for one rack of lamb, approximately 8 chops.\u00a0 To serve larger portions for more guests, double the marinade recipe for 2 racks<\/p>\n<p>Serving suggestion: Roasted baby carrots and crispy Yukon Gold potatoes<\/p>\n<p>Wine pairing:\u00a093 Pt.
