A flavorful and elegant dish featuring a rack of lamb coated with a mixture of herbs and breadcrumbs, perfect for special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 rack of lamb (8 ribs, about 1.5–2 lbs or 680-900g)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup (30g) panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Trim excess fat from the lamb rack and french the bones if not already done.
  3. Pat the lamb dry with paper towels, then season generously with salt and pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  4. In a bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, chopped herbs, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Sear the lamb rack for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  7. Remove the skillet from heat and let the lamb cool slightly.
  8. Brush the meaty part of the lamb with Dijon mustard.
  9. Press the herb mixture firmly onto the mustard-coated areas of the lamb.
  10. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven (or move the lamb to a roasting pan if your skillet isn’t oven-safe).
  11. Roast for 20-25 minutes for medium-rare, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 135°F (57°C).
  12. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes.
  13. Carve between the rib bones and serve immediately with your chosen sides.

Notes

  • For a different flavor profile, consider adding other herbs such as oregano or mint.
  • Make sure to let the lamb rest before carving for optimal juiciness.
