Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Oven rack should be in center of oven.
- In a shallow pan, combine the bread crumbs, garlic, rosemary, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Toss to mix well.
- Season the racks of lamb on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the racks for several minutes on each side or until golden brown all over. Allow to rest and cool for 5-6 minutes.
- Brush each rack with the Dijon mustard and roll in the crumb mixture until evenly coated. Pat the mixture onto each rack so that it adheres well.
- Wipe out the skillet. Arrange the racks, bone side down, back in the skillet and cover the ends of the bones with a piece of foil to prevent burning.
- Roast the lamb in the preheated oven for 12-20 minutes until the desired degree of doneness. Using an instant-read thermometer, begin checking by taking a reading in the center of the meat after 12 minutes. The internal temperature for medium rare is 140 to 150 degrees. Medium is 160 degrees. Lamb is best not cooked beyond medium.
- Remove the racks from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before carving into chops between each rib.
Notes
- Use freshly made bread crumbs for the best texture and flavor in the crumb coating. To make them, simply pulse leftover bread in a food processor until finely crumbed.
- Don't skip searing the racks before coating them. The browning achieved in this step greatly enhances the flavor.
- Leftovers may be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the oven at a low temperature or in the microwave until warmed through.
- May be frozen for up to 3 months. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or place in a freezer-safe container. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating following the same instructions as above.
