A flavorful and aromatic rack of lamb recipe with a crispy herb crust.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy crust.
Season the lamb racks with salt and pepper on all sides.
Seasoning the meat enhances its natural flavors.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the lamb racks for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
Searing locks in the juices and adds a rich flavor.
In a bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic, and olive oil to form a paste.
Ensure the mixture is evenly combined for a consistent crust.
Spread the herb mixture over the top of the lamb racks, pressing gently to adhere.
Press firmly to ensure the crust sticks during roasting.
Place the lamb racks on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare.
Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness.
Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat tender.
Slice the lamb into individual chops and serve.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
