Roast Rack of Lamb with Garlic and Herb Crust: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 46 minute

Ingredients

– 1 rack of lamb (about 1.5 to 2 pounds)
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
– 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
– 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
– ¼ cup Dijon mustard
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Optional: 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Roast Rack of Lamb with Garlic and Herb Crust is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Rack of Lamb: Trim excess fat from the rack of lamb. Pat it dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
3. Sear the Lamb: In a large oven-proof skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the rack of lamb on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
4. Make the Herb Crust: In a bowl, combine minced garlic, breadcrumbs, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
5. Apply Dijon Mustard: Brush the seared lamb with Dijon mustard to help the herb crust adhere.
6. Apply the Herb Mixture: Press the breadcrumb mixture onto the lamb, ensuring it coats the meat evenly.
7. Roast the Lamb: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
8. Rest the Meat: Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender bite.
9. Slice and Serve: Cut the rack into chops and arrange on a serving platter.

These steps will guide you through the cooking process, helping you create an incredible roast rack of lamb that will impress everyone at your table.
