Ingredients

• 2 racks (about 1.5-2 pounds total) Rack of lamb
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 3 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Trim any excess fat from the racks of lamb. Pat them dry with paper towels and set aside.

Step 3

In a food processor or with a mortar and pestle, combine the garlic cloves, rosemary leaves (stripped from their stems), 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until it forms a paste.

Step 4

Rub the rosemary-garlic paste generously over both sides of the lamb racks.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Brush this mixture evenly over the lamb racks.

Step 6

In another bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and lemon zest. Press this breadcrumb mixture firmly onto the mustard-coated lamb to create a crust.

Step 7

Place the lamb racks on the prepared baking sheet, bone-side down. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer a more well-done lamb. Use a meat thermometer to check: 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.

Step 8

Remove the lamb from the oven and loosely tent it with foil. Let it rest for 5-7 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Slice the lamb between the bones to create individual chops. Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or garlic mashed potatoes.
