Pomegranate and Fennel Glazed Rack of LambChristopher Testani

Two racks make enough for each person to have two chops. Cut between each bone individually for single chops, or cut into double-rib portions.

Sourcing info:

Be sure to ask for American lamb rather than New Zealand. The delicate New Zealand breeds are much smaller than the meaty domestic varieties, so the cooking time (and yield) would change significantly.

Ingredient info: Pomegranate molasses is available at Middle Eastern markets and some supermarkets, and online.
