PARMESAN-CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB
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.)

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.

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.

Tips:
- Selecting the Right Rack of Lamb: Choose a rack of lamb that is evenly marbled and has a good layer of fat. This will help ensure that the lamb remains juicy and flavorful during cooking.
- Preparing the Lamb: Before cooking, remove any excess fat from the lamb and trim the chine bone. You can also score the fat on the lamb to help it render more easily.
- Seasoning the Lamb: Generously season the lamb with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices. You can also marinate the lamb for several hours or overnight to infuse it with more flavor.
- Cooking the Lamb: Preheat your oven or grill to the desired temperature before cooking the lamb. Cook the lamb until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium, or 170°F for well-done.
- Resting the Lamb: After cooking, let the lamb rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful lamb.
- Serving the Lamb: Serve the lamb with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad. You can also drizzle the lamb with pan juices or a flavorful sauce.
