Ingredients
- 1 rack of lamb
- ½ cup breadcrumbs (or a little more - around 1 slice)
- 1 clove garlic crushed
- ½ lemon zest (ie from ½ lemon)
- 1 teaspoon rosemary finely chopped, around 1 sprig
- 3 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 2 tablespoon almond meal ground almonds
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F/200C.
- Score the fat side of the rack of lamb so that you cut into the fat but not all the way through to the meat.
- In a small bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, crushed garlic, lemon zest, rosemary, parsley and almond meal.
- Rub the honey over the fat side of the lamb, sit it in a roasting dish so the fat side is up and carefully press the crumbs all over the fat. If you have any extra, you can also put some on the side.
- Roast for around 30 mins for pink, or around 10min more to be med-well done. Keep an eye on it as it cooks, covering with foil if the crust becomes too brown.
- Allow the lamb to rest 5-10min before cutting between the bones into cutlets.
