How To Make honey and garlic lamb rack with orzo salad

• Step 1
  Make 4 shallow slashes, about 1-1/2 inch deep, down the meat side of each rack.
• Step 2
  Combine the marinade ingredients and mix well.
• Step 3
  Pour marinade into a large, flat glass or ceramic dish.
• Step 4
  Add the lamb, turning to coat all sides and brushing into the slashes. Marinate, meat side down, for 2-3 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
• Step 5
  To make orzo salad, cook pasta according to package directions and drain well.
• Step 6
  Let cool slightly, then transfer to a large bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Toss well and season, to taste.
• Step 7
  Take the meat from the marinade and pat dry. Place the marinade in a small pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until liquid is starting to thicken to a glaze. Keep warm.
• Step 8
  Heat a barbecue or grill to medium-high and cook the lamb until internal temperature is 135-140 F (about 10-12 minutes each side). Let rest for 5 minutes.
• Step 9
  Spoon orzo salad onto a large platter and place the whole racks on top; or separate the lamb into chops and serve on individual plates.

  Spoon the glaze over the chops and serve with a green salad.
