Ingredients

• 1 piece rack of lamb (8 ribs, frenched)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Trim any excess fat from the lamb rack and season it with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper on all sides.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb rack for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the lamb and set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, Dijon mustard, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to create a herb paste.

Step 5

Brush the seared lamb rack evenly with the herb paste.

Step 6

Press the breadcrumbs onto the lamb, ensuring an even coating over the herb paste.

Step 7

Drizzle the melted butter over the breadcrumb crust to help it crisp up during cooking.

Step 8

Place the lamb rack in the skillet (or transfer to a roasting pan if needed) and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time based on your preferred doneness level (use a meat thermometer for accuracy: 125°F/52°C for medium-rare, 135°F/57°C for medium).

Step 9

Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes, tented loosely with aluminum foil, allowing the juices to redistribute.

Step 10

Slice the rack into individual chops and serve warm.
