Roughly process or blend the ½ red bell pepper, fresh parsley and garlic with a processor or chopper.
Using a chopping board, divide the lamb rack into 8 chops (Depends how many chop your rack has).
Transfer lamb into a bowl, add the chopped bell pepper mix with the rest of the ingredients and mix with your hands till well coated.
Cover with a cloth or plastic and let it marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator, but should come back to room temperature before cooking.
Preheat Oven to 400°F.
In a cast iron skillet, add about 2 tablespoon olive oil on medium heat, oil has to be very hot. Add lamb chops and sear each side for about 1-2 minutes. Repeat process for the rest of the chops.
After all the chops have been seared, now transfer to the skillet. Avoid overlapping at this point, like the lamb chop under won't be fully cooked. Now put skillet into the hot oven.
Bake at 400°F for 2-5( medium rare - medium), or 5-10 minutes (medium well- well done).
If your skillet couldn't carry all 8 lamb chops, repeat the process with the rest. Make sure you wipe the skillet before putting next batch.
Now remove from the oven and skillet and serve on a plate. If left in the skillet, it continues cooking.
Garnish with the fresh parsley. Serve with your favorite side and dip. Enjoy.
