Roasted Rack of Lamb

Step by Step Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

2. 2

   Place the lamb on a cutting board fat side up. Score the fat with a knife and season both sides with salt and pepper. Cut the rack of lamb in half with 3 or 4 bones per half depending on the size.

3. 3

   Using a cast iron skillet, or other oven safe pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil on the stovetop. Sear all sides (about 2 minutes per side) of the lamb rack. Place the pan into the oven for 8 minutes.

4. 4

   While the lamb is cooking, prepare the crust. Add ground pork rinds, minced garlic, parmesan, 1 tablespoon olive oil, parsley, cilantro, and rosemary to a food processor or blender and pulse for 15 seconds. Pour mixture onto a plate. (Remove leaves off the rosemary sprig and parsley before adding to the food processor or blender. The cilantro can go in with its stem as a large part of the flavor is in the stem. The mixture will be slightly green)

5. 5

   Remove the lamb from the oven and immediately brush generously with mustard until evenly coated.

6. 6

   Dip the lamb rack into the crumb mixture until coated evenly on all sides. Tap lightly to allow excess to fall off.

7. 7

   Place the lamb rack back into the oven for 5 minutes. Let rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy!
