Ingredients:
2 pieces ( about 1 lb. each)  lamb racks
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. dried tarragon
1 bay leaf
3 tbsp. oil
1/2 cup water
 
Sauce:

To prepare lamb racks, season with minced garlic, salt, pepper and paprika.

Place racks bone side down in roasting pan. Add tarragon and bay leaf. Drizzle pieces with oil. Add the water. Cover pan and roast in 350° F oven, for about 1 hour, or until meat is tender.

Remove lamb from pan and set aside to rest for 10 minutes. Discard bay leaf.
