RACK OF LAMB

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, process the salt, rosemary, and garlic until they're as finely minced as possible. Add the mustard and balsamic vinegar and process for 1 minute. Place the lamb in a roasting or sheet pan with the ribs curving down, and coat the tops with the mustard mixture. Allow to stand for 1 hour at room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Roast the lamb for exactly 20 minutes for rare or 25 minutes for medium-rare. Remove from the oven and cover with aluminum foil. Allow to sit for 15 minutes, then cut into individual ribs and serve.

LAMB RACKS WITH BREAD CRUMBS, PARSLEY AND LEMON

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F. Place the bread on a baking tray, slide it into the oven and toast until the slices are lightly golden, about 20 minutes. Remove the baking tray from the oven, and leave the bread slices out to cool. Using your hands or a food processor, crumble the toasted bread, until bread crumbs form. In a medium bowl, toss together the bread crumbs, parsley, zest, and garlic. Pour in 1/4 cup olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
• Rub enough extra olive oil to coat the lamb racks. Season the meat liberally with salt and black pepper, to taste. In a large, hot frying pan, place the lamb racks, fat-side down, and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes. Transfer the racks to a baking tray, spread their tops evenly with the mustard. Press the bread crumb mixture into the meat. Roast until the lamb is fully cooked and nicely pink, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the lamb racks from the oven. Leave them out to rest, loosely covered with foil, for 5 minutes before serving.

RACK OF LAMB WITH WALNUT CRUST

Steps:

• To prepare the racks of lamb: Heat the vegetable oil in a saute pan over high heat. Season the racks of lamb with salt and pepper (I use fresh ground sea salt and ground white pepper). Sear the racks on all sides until nicely browned. Remove racks to a platter and allow to cool enough to handle. At this point preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• To make the walnut crust: Put dried rosemary into a food processor and pulse several times to grind, If you don't do this the rosemary pieces will be too large. Add walnuts, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of white pepper, and garlic powder. Pulse several times until mixture is the consistency of bread crumbs. Pour mixture onto a large dinner plate or a platter.
• To make the mustard mixture: In a dish combine the egg, mustard and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Mix well with a fork until egg and mustard are completely incorporated.
• To coat the racks of lamb: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Once the racks are cool enough to handle, place 1 rack in the mustard mixture and coat all sides. Next place the coated rack into the walnut mixture and coat well. Using your hand press the walnut mixture firmly onto the coated rack. Transfer rack to the baking sheet. Repeat steps for each rack. You can make the recipe to this point and place in refrigerator until ready to cook.
• To cook: Place the racks of lamb into the oven and roast for 20 minutes for medium rare. I use a temperature probe in one of the racks, and remove meat from oven when it registers between 125 to 130 degrees F. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting.
