Delicious Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb for Spring Dinners

Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb: A Perfect Addition to Your Spring or Easter Dinner!

My partner and I enjoyed this dish for the first time a few months ago, and we’ve been dreaming about it ever since.

Here’s what you need to try making it at home:

Ingredients:

Lamb:

• 1 lb rack of lamb
• 2 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
• 1 tbsp butter
• 2 or 3 cloves garlic
• 2 sprigs of rosemary
• 2 sprigs of thyme
• 1 to 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 3 vine cherry tomatoes
• salt & pepper to taste

Herb Crumbs:

• 1 cup bread crumbs or panko crumbs
• 1/2 cup parsley
• 2 sprigs of rosemary
• 2 sprigs of thyme
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. In a blender or food processor, combine the herbs, breadcrumbs, garlic, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend until well mixed into a fine herbal crumb, and set aside.
3. Generously season each side of the lamb rack with salt and pepper.
4. Heat a cast iron or skillet over medium to high heat and add two tablespoons of avocado or olive oil. Sear each side of the lamb until browned, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Halfway through searing, add the butter, herbs, and garlic to the skillet and baste the lamb with the butter mixture.
5. Once seared, transfer the lamb to a baking tray and set the cast iron or skillet aside for later use.
6. Brush each side of the lamb rack with Dijon mustard.
7. After coating, spread the breadcrumb mixture onto a separate baking tray and coat each side of the lamb with it.
8. In the same cast iron or skillet, place the vined cherry tomatoes around the edges and position the herb-crusted lamb in the center.
9. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness.
10. Allow the lamb to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

Enjoy!
