Roasted Rack of Lamb

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Additional Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
½ cups of fresh bread crumbs
2 tbsp. minced garlic
2 tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary
1 tsp. salt
¼ tsp. black pepper
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 (7 bone) rack of lamb, trimmed and frenched
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
Directions:
- Set the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees C). Place the oven rack in the middle.
- In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs with the garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. 2 tbsp. of olive oil should be used to moisten the mixture. Place aside.
- Add 1 tsp. each of salt and pepper to the rack of lamb. In a sizable, heavy oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tbsp. of olive oil over high heat. Add the lamb and sear all sides for 1 to 2 minutes; then, remove the lamb and set it aside.
- Lamb should be spread with mustard before being evenly coated with bread crumbs. To keep the ends of the bones from charring, wrap them in foil.
- Place the bone-side-down breaded rack of lamb in the same skillet. Roast in a preheated oven for 12 to 18 minutes for medium; cook until desired doneness is reached or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers at least 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
- Before carving the lamb between the ribs, remove the lamb from the skillet and let it rest for 5 to 7 minutes with a loose foil cover.
