Pomegranate-and-Fennel-Glazed Rack of Lamb

Name: Pomegranate-and-Fennel-Glazed Rack of Lamb
Yield: 8 Servings
Ingredients: 3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons pomegranate molasses; 3 tablespoons fennel seeds, divided; Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper; 2 medium fennel bulbs, sliced lengthwise; 1 small onion, thinly sliced; 2 3–3½-pound racks of lamb, rib bones frenched; 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar; ¼ cup pomegranate seeds; Be sure to ask for American lamb rather than New Zealand. The delicate New Zealand breeds are much smaller than the meaty domestic varieties, so the cooking time (and yield) would change significantly.; Pomegranate molasses is available at Middle Eastern markets and some supermarkets, and online.
