Ingredients

 

rack of lamb

 

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the panko, garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, sea salt and pepper. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons Blue Rock olive oil and stir to moisten the crumbs. Set aside if needed for up to several hours.
  3. Remove the racks of lamb from the refrigerator 30 minutes before you plan to cook them. Place the lamb, fat-side up, on a pan. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
  4. Roast for 12 minutes exactly. Remove from the oven and, working quickly, use a knife to spread the mustard on the top side of the lamb. Spread the crumb mixture evenly on the mustard, pressing gently to help the mixture adhere.
  5. Return the lamb to the oven right away and continue roasting for another 12 to 18 minutes (depending on the size of the lamb), until the crumbs are golden brown and the meat is 120 degrees F for rare or 125 degrees F for medium rare.
  6. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and allow the lamb to rest for 8 minutes. Cut the racks into single or double chops and serve hot.

Wine Pairing Suggestions: This is an elegant dish and rich with lamb flavor. I would serve with an aged Blue Rock Estate Cabernet. If using a current vintage, reach for something with a bit of herb such as Best Barrels Cabernet Franc or Best Barrels Right Bank Blend. However, Baby Blue goes with everything!
