Description
This Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb makes an impressive yet simple dish. Perfect for a holiday or special dinner.
Ingredients
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
2 teaspoons fresh oregano, chopped
2 racks of lamb, trimmed
salt and ground pepper
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
2. In a food processor, blend together the olive oil and the herbs. Place lamb on a rimmed baking sheet, fat side up, and sprinkle generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Brush or spoon the herb mixture onto the lamb then coat with the bread crumbs.
4. Place the lamb in the oven and cook for 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, cover loosely with foil and let the lamb rest for 15 minutes. Slice the lamb down the side of the ribs, into chops, and serve with Zesty Citrus Gremolata, if desired.
Notes
This Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb would not be complete without the zing of Zesty Citrus Gremolata. The Gremolata adds freshness and flavor.
I also balanced this meal out with Maple Spiced Roasted Vegetables, to add those important veggies to the meal.
