Rosemary & Parmesan Crusted Lamb Racks with Mash Potato & Red Wine Jus

Rosemary and Parmesan crusted lamb racks are coated with a seasoned breadcrumb and cheese mixture, seared, and roasted to develop a savory crust that locks in tender, juicy meat. Accompanied by creamy mashed potatoes and a rich red wine jus, this dish combines herbaceous, cheesy, and robust flavors with a variety of textures. The method highlights breading for contrast and careful cooking for optimal lamb doneness.

  8. Once all the racks have been crumbed, place a pan on medium heat, add enough oil to cover the base of the pan and add a couple tbsps of butter.
