Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 1 clove garlic, , minced
- 2 (8 bones each) racks of lamb, , trimmed and frenched
- Kosher or fine sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Gluten-free nonstick cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Combine the breadcrumbs, mint, parsley, and garlic in a small mixing bowl.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Heat an ovenproof skillet large enough to hold both racks of lamb until hot over medium-high heat. If you do not have a skillet large enough for both racks, then place a roasting pan in the oven to heat as the oven preheats.
- Season the lamb generously with salt and pepper on all sides. Spray pan generously with cooking spray. Place one rack of lamb in the skillet and cook for 2 minutes per side or until browned. Remove the rack from the pan and repeat with the other rack.
- Brush the lamb with the mustard and press the breadcrumb mixture over the lamb.
- Place both lamb racks back in the pan and roast in the oven for 18 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the lamb reaches 130°F. Let sit for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
