Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Stir together the crème fraiche, horseradish and ½ teaspoon salt in a bowl and chill until ready to serve.
  2. In a mortar and pestle crush the peppercorns. Transfer the crushed pepper to a bowl and stir in the panko, minced garlic, melted butter, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest and remaining 1 ¼ teaspoon salt until well mixed.
  3. Place the lamb, fat side up, on an aluminum lined cookie sheet. Spread 1 tablespoon of the Dijon mustard over the fat side of each fat side of the lamb racks. Top with the panko mixture, pressing to adhere.
  4. Bake at 425° for 30 to 35 minutes. Cover loosely with aluminum foil after 20 minutes if necessary to prevent the crust from burning.
  5. Let it stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
  6. Cut the rack into single or double chops. Serve alongside the horseradish crème fraiche.

Notes

  • I love the combination better, as the mixed peppercorns will have some sweet peppercorns, which will enhance the flavor.
  • Crush the panko a bit with the pestle to reduce the large chunks. This will also give it a more refined flavor.
  • Cover your rack for at least 5 minutes before serving it. This will allow all the juices to solidify and stay inside of your racks and not lose them.
