Ingredients You'll Need:

• 1 rack of lamb (about 2 pounds)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• RA Seasonings GREEK Seasoning
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions for a Culinary Masterpiece:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures even cooking and a perfectly tender lamb.
2. Prepare the Rack of Lamb: Pat the rack of lamb dry with paper towels. Remove any excess fat, but leave a thin layer for flavor.
3. Season the Lamb: Generously rub RA Seasonings GREEK onto the entire rack of lamb, ensuring all sides are evenly coated.
4. Sear the Lamb: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the rack of lamb for 2-3 minutes per side, developing a beautiful golden crust.
5. Roast to Perfection: Transfer the seared lamb to a roasting pan. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
6. Rest and Slice: Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful cut.
7. Prepare the Greek Vinaigrette: While the lamb rests, whisk together the red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and chopped parsley in a small bowl. This tangy vinaigrette will complement the rich flavor of the lamb perfectly.
8. Assemble and Serve: Arrange the sliced lamb on a platter. Drizzle the Greek vinaigrette over the lamb, and serve immediately.

Tips for a Delicious Experience:

• Don't Overcook: Lamb is best enjoyed medium-rare, allowing for a tender and juicy texture. Overcooking will result in a dry and tough cut.
• Fresh Herbs: If possible, use fresh herbs for the rub and vinaigrette. Their vibrant flavors will elevate the dish to new heights.
• Accompaniments: Serve the Greek-seasoned rack of lamb with roasted vegetables, couscous, or a simple Greek salad for a well-balanced meal.
