1. Heat the oven to 450 degrees. 2. Season the lamb with salt and pepper and let it rest until it reaches room temperature, about 30 minutes. 3. Place in a roasting pan and roast for about 20 to 25 minutes for medium-rare. 4. When the lamb has cooked for about 15 minutes, mince the mint, garlic and lemon zest until very fine, almost a paste. 5. Note: Fresh mint will discolor almost immediately, so do this at the last -- about 5 minutes before you'll use it. 6. Spread the mint gremolata over the rack of lamb and return to the oven for the final 5 minutes. 7. Remove the rack of lamb from the oven and let it rest under a foil tent for about 10 minutes. 8. Cut it into chops and serve. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
