Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large rack of lamb (1.252 lbs), cut in half
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup beef panko
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley
  • 3 tablespoons cilantro
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 23 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  2. Season the rack of lamb with salt and pepper on both sides. Cut it in half if necessary for easier handling.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb on all sides until browned (about 2 minutes per side). Transfer to the oven and roast for about 8 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, combine beef panko, minced garlic, parmesan, remaining olive oil, parsley, cilantro, and rosemary leaves in a food processor and pulse until mixed but still coarse.
  5. Remove the lamb from the oven and brush generously with Dijon mustard before coating with the herb mixture.
  6. Return the coated lamb to the oven for an additional 5 minutes. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into chops.
