2 tbsp rosemary, finely chopped , plus
rosemary sprig, for garnish
1 tbsp kosher salt
1 tsp cracked black pepper
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 rack of lamb , chine bone removed (8 to 9 chops)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine the garlic, orange zest, rosemary, salt, pepper and olive oil in a small bowl, and stir until combined. Rub the lamb with the garlic mixture, gently pressing it into the meat. Place the lamb, meat side up, on a rimmed baking sheet. Allow to sit at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes. (This is a good time to start the creme fraiche potatoes.) Roast lamb in the center of the oven ‑- 15 to 20 minutes for rare (the internal temperature on a meat thermometer will read 125 degrees F), 20 to 30 minutes for medium rare (135 degrees F), 25 to 35 minutes for medium (145 degrees F).
Cover the surface of the platter with rosemary. Slice the rack into chops at the table, and serve.
