Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Mince 3 garlic cloves, chop 1/4 cup parsley and 2 tablespoons spearmint, juice 1 lemon to yield 2 tablespoons juice, and cut 12 ounces heirloom tomatoes into wedges.
  2. Combine 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon coriander, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Rub the mixture over 1 lamb rack and let stand for 10 minutes. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the 1 seasoned rack for about 5 minutes, turning to brown all sides.
  3. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 14–18 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center away from the bone registers 135–140°F; it will approach 145°F as it rests.
  4. While the skillet is in the oven, bring 3/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in 1/2 cup bulgur, cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 10 minutes; remove from the heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.

  6. Stir together 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped spearmint, 1 teaspoon honey, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt.
  7. Rest the roast for 10 minutes, carve between the bones, and plate half of each prepared component per person, spooning the cool yogurt sauce alongside.
