3. In a small bowl, whisk together the Za'atar spice blend and olive oil to make a runny paste. Generously rub the rack of lamb in this mixture and place the meat on a parchment-lined baking sheet with the fat side facing up. Let the lamb marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.

4. Bake for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature is around 130* for medium rare. Remove from the oven and loosely tent with foil. Let the meat rest for 15 minutes before slicing down between the rib bones with a sharp knife.

5. Serve with Pistachio Mint Gremolata.
