Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 Rack of Lamb, (about 2 to 2 1/2 lbs), Well Trimmed and at Room Temperature
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper, ground
  • 3 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard or coarse grained mustard
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Rosemary, minced (about 4 small sprigs leaves removed from stem
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme, minced (about 5 sprigs leaves removed from stems)
  • 1 clove Fresh Garlic, finely minced or 1 teaspoon Roasted Garlic

Instructions

  1. Position rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Season lamb all over, with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt and the pepper.
  3. Brush lamb with 1 tablespoon of the mustard.  Set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, all the herbs, garlic and remaining 2 tablespoons of mustard.   
  5. Press the crumb mixture evenly over the top of the lamb and around to the sides.  
  6. Arrange the lamb crumb side up in a shallow roasting pan or baking sheet, and roast for 10 minutes. 
  7. Reduce heat to 400 degrees and continue to roast until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meaty part of the loin, registers 135 degrees for medium-rare.  This will take about 15 additional minutes.  
  8. Remove lamb from oven and let rest (stand) for 10 minutes before carving.
  9. Carve between ribs and serve.
