Turn on the oven, th 7 (225°C). Mix salt, pepper, thyme and butter. Spread this mixture on the racks of lamb.

Place the racks of lamb on the oven rack and slide them into the hot oven. Cook for 15 minutes, if you like pink meat, or more, if you prefer it well cooked.

When the meat is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes in the oven, with the door ajar, before serving it. Cut at the last moment.

Serve this tender, fragrant lamb with potato pancakes (thin potato rings cooked in light, crispy patties) and artichoke wedges (sautéed in a mixture of olive oil and water, until the liquid has evaporated and the artichokes are golden).
