Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine all ingredients for marinade.
  2. Season lamb with salt and pepper. Lay lamb chops in a bowl, add marinade and let it marinate 20 minutes or refrigerate a few hours or overnight.
  3. Remove lamb from refrigerator if marinated overnight before cooking so that the meat comes back to room temperature.
  4. Preheat oven to 450°.
  5. Roast lamb in the center of the oven for about 12 - 18 minutes for medium rare, or until the internal temperature is 130° - 135°.
  6. Remove from oven and cover with foil for about 5 - 10 minutes before slicing. Use a very sharp knife to carve between the ribs.
  7. While the lamb is in the oven, heat a large sauté pan on hight heat.
  8. When hot add oil and garlic. Cook until golden then add spinach; reduce heat to low and and cover.
  9. Spinach will wilt in a few minutes, stir so all spinach wilts then season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
  10. *Note: I'm aware there are 8 ribs on this rack, sometimes they have 6 or 7. A suggested serving size is 3 ribs, nutritional info is based on 6 ribs or 3 each. Adjust calories/points if you eat more than 3.
