Rack of Lamb is an elegant option for holidays and special occasions

Ingredients:

  • 1 rack of lamb (about 1.5 to 2 pounds), frenched
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably fresh)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
  3. Rub the marinade all over the rack of lamb, ensuring it’s well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
  4. While the lamb is marinating, prepare the breadcrumbs by mixing them with a pinch of salt and pepper in a separate bowl.
  5. After marinating, remove the lamb from the refrigerator and brush the rack with Dijon mustard. This helps the breadcrumbs to adhere and adds a tangy flavor.
  6. Cover the mustard-coated lamb with the prepared breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks.
  7. Place the rack in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes for medium-rare (an internal temperature of 125°F to 130°F). Adjust the time according to your preferred doneness.
  8. Once done, remove the lamb from the oven and cover it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for about 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
  9. After resting, slice between the bones to create individual chops and serve with your favorite sides.

Now, you are ready to serve up this stunning rack of lamb! Pair it with seasonal vegetables or a flavorful potato dish for a complete meal that will leave your guests raving about your culinary skills.
