Directions
Mint Yogurt Sauce
Stir the yogurt, honey, mint, mustard, curry powder, and lime juice together in a small bowl.
Season with salt and pepper, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Lamb Chops
Preheat oven to broil.
Stir olive oil, curry powder, mint, marjoram, and all zest together in a small bowl to form a paste. Rub half of paste into all sides of lamb, pressing it into fat to adhere.
Stand lamb racks in a large roasting pan with the rib bones facing each other, propping each other up.
Place lamb under broiler for 3 to 4 minutes, until outside is crisp; remove it from oven and set aside for about 5 minutes. Cut racks into individual chops, brush or rub remaining paste into both sides of chops, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Put a few chops at a time in the pan to sear for about 1 minute per side for medium-rare (longer for the chops from the thicker end of the rack).
Remove chops to platter to rest, loosely covered with foil, while you cook the remaining chops.
To serve, place three or four lamb chops on each plate, serve with a dollop of Mint Yogurt Sauce.
