Ingredients
- 1 rack of lamb with 8 chops about 1 ½ - 2 lbs
- salt and pepper
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh mint
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
Notes
- Remove the rack of lamb from the refrigerator about 30 minutes prior to cooking so it can come to room temperature. This helps it cook evenly.
- If using a larger rack of lamb or making more than one at a time, double the mustard and herb Panko breadcrumb mixture.
- Be sure to remove the fat cap on the top of the lamb of that there's not a thick layer of fat between the meat and crust.
- Allow the lamb to sit for at least 10 minutes before roasting to help the crust adhere.
- If the breadcrumbs are not browned by the time the meat is done, you can broil it until they turn golden. But watch closely - it can easily burn.
- It's imperative to let the lamb rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing so that it stays juicy.
- While the lamb is resting, you can tent it with foil to keep it warm, but avoid creating a tight seal or it will steam and cause the breadcrumbs to get mushy.
- I prefer cutting the lamb into double chops rather than single. It's easier, keeps the meat juicier and more of the crust intact.
