American Lamb's Rack of Lamb with Herb Crust

Prep Time: 10 Minutes Cook Time: 30 Minutes

Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 Heartquist Hollow Farm rack of lamb approximately 1¼ pounds, frenched

  • 3 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil divided

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • ⅓ cup bread crumbs

  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan

  • 1 Tablespoon minced fresh rosemary or 2 teaspoons dried

  • 1 Tablespoon minced flat-leaf parsley or 2 teaspoons dried

  • 1 large clove garlic grated or fine minced

DIRECTIONS

  1. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Drizzle lamb with 1 Tbsp. olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Sear until browned on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and let rest 20-30 minutes, until cool.

  2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan, rosemary, parsley and garlic. Stir in olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Pat the breadcrumbs over the lamb rack in an even layer.

  3. Bake 20-30 minutes, to a temperature of 120-degrees for medium rare (the temperature will continue to rise to 125-degrees as the lamb sits). Let rest 10 minutes then slice between the bones into individual chops, allowing about two per person.
