Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (about 8 ribs) rack of lamb
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Trim any excess fat off the rack of lamb and season it with salt and black pepper.
In a food processor, combine fresh rosemary, thyme, parsley, and garlic cloves. Pulse until finely chopped.
Add olive oil to the herb mixture in the food processor and blend briefly until it forms a paste-like consistency.
In a bowl, mix the bread crumbs with the herb paste until well-combined.
Brush the lamb rack with Dijon mustard ensuring an even coating over the entire surface.
Firmly press the herb and breadcrumb mixture onto the mustard-coated lamb to form a crust.
Place the herb-crusted rack of lamb onto a roasting pan with the bones curving downwards.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
Remove from the oven, cover with foil, and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the lamb between the bones to separate the individual chops and serve immediately.
