Time 45m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup panko bread crumbs
¼ cup Italian parsley leaves
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
½ teaspoon lemon zest
2 (1 pound) frenched racks of lamb, at room temperature, trimmed of excess fat
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  • Combine bread crumbs, parsley, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, mint, rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and lemon zest in the bowl of a food processor. Process until well combined, about 45 seconds. Transfer to a shallow dish and set aside.

MUSTARD CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB



Mustard Crusted Rack of Lamb image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h25m

Yield 1 rack of lamb, serving 2

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 rack of lamb, trimmed (about 1 1/2 pounds)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan
Fig Chutney, recipe follows, optional
2 1/2 cups red wine vinegar
1/2 pound light brown sugar
1 onion, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds
1/4 lemon, zested
1/2 cinnamon stick
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/4 pounds firm, slightly underripe fresh figs, rinsed, stems removed and halved

Steps:

  • Season rack of lamb well on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat a medium skillet over high heat and, when hot, add the oil. When the oil is almost smoking, add the rack of lamb and brown well on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer the lamb to a plate and set aside to cool slightly before proceeding.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Using the back of a spoon, spread the mustard evenly over all sides of the lamb. Spread the minced garlic over the lamb in the same manner.
  • In a small mixing bowl combine the breadcrumbs and grated cheese and toss to thoroughly combine. Using your hands or a spoon, spread the breadcrumb mixture evenly all over the lamb, pressing so that the crumbs adhere to the meat.
  • Place the rack of lamb on a baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes for medium-rare. Allow lamb to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before carving into chops to serve.
  • Serve with some of the Fig Chutney, if desired.
  • In a large saucepan combine the vinegar, sugar, onion, ginger, mustard seeds, lemon zest, cinnamon stick, salt, allspice, and cloves and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until mixture is thickened and reduced by 2/3, forming a thick syrup. Add the figs and cook gently until the figs are very soft and beginning to fall apart and most of the liquid they've given off has evaporated, about 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the chutney to a non-reactive container and allow to come to room temperature before serving. The chutney may be made up to 3 weeks in advance and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. (Alternately, hot chutney may be ladled into hot sterilized canning jars and processed in a hot-water bath according to manufacturer's directions.)

PARMESAN-CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB



Parmesan-Crusted Rack of Lamb image

Impressive in size, color and flavor, this take on an old Escoffier recipe brings salt-crunchiness to the exterior of sweet, roasted lamb. Served with Macaroni Milanaise, it makes for a show-off, dinner-party meal of little compare. (Tell no one how easy it is to pull off.)

Provided by Sam Sifton

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 rack of lamb, approximately 1¼ pounds, frenched
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ cup fresh bread crumbs
¼ cup grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450. Put a large frying pan over high heat until very hot. Rub lamb with 1 tablespoon of the oil, season aggressively with salt and pepper and then sear the meat in the pan until it is golden brown all over, approximately 4 minutes a side. Place on a rimmed baking sheet, and let rest for 20 or 30 minutes, until cool.
  • In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, cheese and parsley. Rub the cooled-off lamb with the remaining olive oil, then pat the seasoned bread crumbs all over the meat in an even layer.
  • Put the lamb back on the baking sheet, and roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 120 degrees, approximately 20 to 30 minutes. (Tent the lamb with foil if the crust threatens to get too dark at the end.) Remove the lamb from the oven, and allow to stand, covered loosely in foil, for 10 minutes or so. (The internal temperature will rise to 125 degrees, or medium-rare, while the lamb sits.) Carve into chops, and serve on a warmed platter.

HERB-CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB WITH WHITE BEAN PURéE



Herb-crusted rack of lamb with white bean purée image

Show off your cooking skills with this restaurant-style cut of lamb served on a butter bean mash

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 16

50g fresh white breadcrumb or white bread, torn into small pieces
2 tbsp roughly chopped parsley
2 tbsp thyme leaf
2 tbsp rosemary leaves, picked from sprigs
zest 1 lemon
25g grated parmesan
2 tbsp olive oil , plus extra for drizzling
2 x 8-bone racks of lamb , well trimmed (see 'Try', below)
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
250g spinach leaves
400g can butter bean , drained and rinsed
1 garlic clove , chopped
6 anchovy fillets
large rosemary sprig, leaves chopped
juice ½ lemon
8 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil , the best quality you can afford

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the breadcrumbs, herbs, zest and Parmesan into a food processor with 1 tbsp of the oil and some seasoning. Blitz until everything is finely chopped.
  • Heat the remaining oil in an ovenproof frying pan. Season the lamb, then brown it well on all sides and turn off the heat. Turn the racks so that they are fat-side up, and brush liberally with the mustard (Step 1, above). Pack over the herb crust (Step 2), drizzle with a bit more oil, and roast for 25 mins until the crust is golden and the lamb is cooked - this will produce lamb that is pink in the middle but cooked all the way through. If you like your lamb rarer, roast for only 20 mins; if you like it more done, give it 5 mins more. Put the lamb on a board to rest.
  • While the lamb is cooking, blitz the beans with the garlic, anchovies, rosemary, lemon juice, some seasoning and 7 tbsp olive oil (or enough to make it a smooth purée. Tip into a saucepan to gently heat.
  • Wilt the spinach in the remaining olive oil in another frying pan. Once the lamb has rested, carefully carve it into chops (Step 3), trying to keep the crust intact. Divide the warm bean purée between 4 plates, add a small mound of spinach, then arrange 3 lamb chops on top of each portion. Sprinkle with stray crumbs and drizzle with a little olive oil.

Provided by The Flying Chef

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 racks of lamb (4 cutlets each)
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped fine
1 tablespoon mint, chopped fine
1 tablespoon sage, chopped fine
1 tablespoon thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons rosemary, chopped fine
1 1/2 teaspoons tarragon, chopped fine
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs, flakes (Japanese breadcrumbs)
6 -7 good sized parsnips
20 g butter
1/4 cup cream
3 teaspoons mild Dijon mustard
milk (for cooking)

Steps:

  • For the racks.
  • Trim any excess fat off of the Lamb and set to one side.
  • Combine all the chopped herbs in a bowl with both of the bread crumbs, Take each lamb rack and spread about 1 teaspoon of mustard on each. This may be a little more or less depending on how big the individual racks are. You want enough to completely coat. Then press the herb mixture onto mustard, again coat completely.
  • Pre-heat oven to 200c. Place lamb in baking dish on a wire rack drizzle a little olive oil over racks and cook for 25-30mins. Remove lamb from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
  • The lamb will be pink inside if you prefer your lamb a little more well done just cook for longer.I like my lamb meat pink, so if the crust is not golden or crisp enough, I just turn on the grill to brown the crust off rather than cook for longer and end up with over cooked meat.
  • For the Parsnip mash.
  • Peel and chop parsnips into small chunks. I tend to take a little of the core off as this is a little more bitter than the rest of the veg but it is not necessary. Put chopped parsnip in pan and cover with milk cook simmering until tender then drain.
  • Blend or process parsnip adding butter, mustard and cream until smooth. I have listed 1/4 cup of cream this can vary depending on size of parsnip used, so add more or less as needed. Also depending on what brand of mustard you use will depened on the quantaty you use. I buy a really good brand from france and it has a good flavour without being overpoweriing. Some dijons can be quite strong so if the brand you buy is strong I would recommend using less as this will overpower the yummy natural flavour of the parsnip.
  • To serve place mound of mash in the middle of the plate place rack on top and drizzle red wine gravy around the plate.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rack of lamb: Look for a rack that is evenly marbled and has a good amount of fat. This will help keep the lamb moist and juicy during cooking.
  • Prepare the lamb properly: Before cooking, remove any excess fat from the lamb and season it generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Cook the lamb to the desired doneness: The ideal internal temperature for medium-rare lamb is 135 degrees Fahrenheit. For medium, cook to 145 degrees Fahrenheit. For well-done lamb, cook to 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the lamb rest before carving: After cooking, let the lamb rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the lamb with your favorite sides: Mustard-and-herb crusted rack of lamb pairs well with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Mustard-and-herb crusted rack of lamb is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your lamb is cooked perfectly and that your guests will love it.
