PANKO-CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
- In a medium bowl, crumble the goat cheese with a fork. Add the panko, garlic, rosemary, thyme, 1 teaspoon fleur de sel and 1 teaspoon pepper. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil and stir to moisten the crumbs. Set aside for a few minutes or cover and refrigerate.
- Remove the racks of lamb from the refrigerator 30 minutes before you plan to cook them. Place the lamb, fat-side up, on the prepared pan. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons fleur de sel and 1 teaspoon pepper. Roast for 12 minutes exactly. Remove from the oven and, working quickly, use a knife to spread the mustard on the top of the lamb. Spread the crumb mixture evenly on the mustard, pressing gently to help the mixture adhere. Return the lamb to the oven right away and continue roasting for another 12 to 18 minutes (depending on the size of the lamb), until the crumbs are golden brown and the meat is 120 degrees F for rare or 125 degrees F for medium rare. (Insert an instant-read thermometer horizontally through the meat.)
- Cover loosely with aluminum foil and allow the lamb to rest for 8 minutes. Cut the racks into single or double chops and serve hot.

Steps:

- Season lamb with salt and pepper. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a large heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown lamb 1 rack at a time, turning once, about 4 minutes per rack. Transfer to a 13- by 9- by 2-inch roasting pan, arranging fatty sides up.
- Spread fatty sides of each rack with 2 teaspoons mustard. Divide bread crumb mixture into 3 portions and pat each portion over mustard coating on each rack, gently pressing to adhere.

PISTACHIO CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB
The pistachio and mustard crust gives this lamb dish an interesting flavor and texture. Sure, rack of lamb is a little pricey, but no more so than other special occasion meats like prime rib, beef tenderloin, or goose. And, because rack of lamb is sold completely trimmed, you'll have virtually no waste.

Tips:
- Choosing the Right Rack of Lamb: Opt for a rack of lamb that has a good amount of marbling, as this will ensure a tender and flavorful result.
- Preparing the Lamb: Before cooking, trim any excess fat from the lamb and season it generously with salt and pepper. This will help enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Mustard Coating: For a flavorful crust, combine Dijon mustard with bread crumbs, herbs, and spices to create a paste-like coating. Spread this mixture evenly over the lamb before cooking.
- Cooking Temperature: To achieve a perfectly cooked rack of lamb, use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, or 145°F (63°C) for medium.
- Resting the Lamb: Once cooked, let the rack of lamb rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful experience.
Conclusion:
With its combination of tender meat, flavorful mustard coating, and simple cooking techniques, this recipe for Mustard-Coated Rack of Lamb is a sure-fire hit. Whether you're hosting a special dinner party or simply looking for an impressive meal, this dish is guaranteed to delight your taste buds and leave you wanting more.
