herb marinated rack of lamb

papa and I both have a crave for lamb, this is a great recipe for home cooking because it seems so advanced when in actually it's very simple.....

recipe: 1 lamb rack, 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons, 4 crushed garlic gloves, 2 crushed rosemary sprigs, 6 thyme sprigs, ground black pepper, sea salt.
mix together the olive oil, crushed garlic, crushed rosemary and thyme sprigs in a large bowl. add the lamb and coat well. grind some black pepper over all. wrap well and marinate for a few hours.
preheat the oven 200C. heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil, season the lamb with salt, sear fat side down until golden, turn over so that the fat side is up and roast in preheated oven for 20 mins. let the rack rest for 10 mins before cutting.
