Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks Rack of lamb
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the racks of lamb dry with paper towels and season them all over with salt and black pepper.
In a food processor, combine rosemary, thyme, garlic, and lemon zest. Pulse until finely chopped.
Add almond flour to the herb mixture and pulse to combine.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and pulse again until the mixture comes together like coarse breadcrumbs.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the lamb racks, fat side down, in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms.
Remove the lamb racks from the skillet and let them cool slightly.
Brush the tops with Dijon mustard, then press the herb mixture on top to form the crust.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if desired.
Let the lamb rest for 5 minutes before carving between the bones.
Serve the herb-crusted lamb chops warm, accompanied by your preferred low-carb side dishes.
