--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2                    Racks of lamb (ea.3/4 lb.)
   2       tb           Chopped fresh mint (or
   1       t            Grated lemon rind
   1       tb           Vegetable oil
   1                    Lemon mint marinade:
   1                    1 tsp dried)
   2       tb           Lemon juice
   1                    Pinch of pepper

  Place each rack of lamb, meaty side up, on cutting        
  board. Using sharp paring knife, cut line across rack     
  where meaty portion begins, about 3 inches down from      
  rib ends. Cut off layer of fat between line and rib       
  ends.                                                     
                                                            
  Cut off meat and fat between bared ribs to expose         
  bones. Scrape exposed rib bones clean, removing any       
  remaining meat and fat. Trim fat from meaty portion of    
  ribs to 1/8 inch thickness, lifting away fat as you       
  work.                                                     
                                                            
  With rib ends up, press racks together to interlink       
  bones. Separate bases about 1 inch to stabilize; place    
  in shallow dish.                                          
                                                            
  LEMON MINT MARINADE:  Whisk together mint, lemon rind     
  and juice, oil and pepper; brush over lamb.  Let stand    
  at room temperature for 30 minutes.                       
                                                            
  Place lamb on greased rack in roasting pan; drizzle       
  with any remaining marinade.  Cover exposed ribs with     
  foil to prevent charring. Roast in 450F oven for 10       
  minutes. Reduce heat to 325F; roast for 40 minutes or     
  until meat thermometer registers 140F for rare and        
  150F for medium-rare.                                     
                                                            
  Transfer to warm platter; tent with foil and let stand    
  for 10 minutes. To serve, remove all foil; carve          
  between bones. Makes 4 servings. Typed in MMFormat by
