Ingredients

Herb-Crusted Lamb

1 rack lamb trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon rosemary chopped
1 tablespoon thyme chopped
1 cup breadcrumbs fresh
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Ratatouille Relish

1 medium eggplant diced
1 medium zucchini diced
1 medium red bell pepper diced
1 medium onion chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic minced
1 can diced tomatoes drained
1 tablespoon basil chopped
1 teaspoon oregano dried
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare the lamb by trimming excess fat and patting dry with paper towels.
2 In a bowl, combine garlic, rosemary, thyme, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3 Rub the lamb with olive oil. Press the herb mixture onto the lamb, ensuring it adheres evenly.
4 Place the lamb on a roasting pan. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until it reaches your desired doneness.
5 While the lamb is roasting, prepare the ratatouille relish. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
6 Add onion and garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
7 Add eggplant, zucchini, and red bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 8-10 minutes.
8 Stir in the diced tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
9 Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
10 Serve the lamb slices with a generous spoonful of ratatouille relish on the side.
