Ingredients

  • 1 rack of lamb, trimmed (about 1 1/2 pounds)
  • 1 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 teaspoon rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons minced parsley

Directions

  1. 1Season rack of lamb well on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat a dutch oven over high heat and, when hot, add the oil. When the oil is almost smoking, add the rack of lamb and brown well on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer the lamb to a plate and set aside to cool slightly before proceeding.
  2. 2Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  3. 3Mix the olive oil, mustard, and garlic in a small bowl. Using the back of a spoon, spread the mustard evenly over all sides of the lamb.
  4. 4In a small mixing bowl combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan, rosemary, and parsley and toss to thoroughly combine. Using your hands or a spoon, spread the breadcrumb mixture evenly all over the lamb, pressing so that the crumbs adhere to the meat.
  5. 5Place the rack of lamb in a 9x13 pan and bake for 25 minutes for medium-rare. Allow lamb to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before carving into chops to serve.

Notes

  • I like to cut the racks in 1/2 at the beginning. That way you get more "end" pieces.
