Rack of lamb is a special-occasion treat. Ask the butcher to french the bones -- removing excess meat and fat, which makes the chops neat to eat.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut the rack into two 4-rib pieces, and season the meat generously with salt and pepper.
- Toast the mustard and fennel seeds in a large seasoned cast-iron (or ovenproof) skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool slightly.
- Heat oil in skillet until hot but not smoking. Place 1 piece of lamb in skillet, bone side down, and brown all over, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate;repeat with remaining piece of lamb. Roll meat in spices to coat (do not coat the cut sides on either end).
- Return meat to skillet, and transfer to oven. Roast meat until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center (avoiding the bones) registers 135 degrees, or medium-rare, 18 to 24 minutes.
- Remove meat from skillet, and let stand at least 10 minutes. Cut meat into individual or double chops, and cross the bones, if desired. Serve with herb oil.
