Lamb From Wine Food And Friends

• The Lamb:
• 3 racks of lamb
• sea salt
• 3 teaspoons freshly ground pepper
• 3 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
• 3 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
• 6 tablespoons herb bread crumbs

1. Preheat the oven to 425u0b0.
2. Trim the racks of lamb, removing excess fat and silver skin.
3. Season the racks with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. When the oil just begins to smoke, sear the meat well on both sides. Set the skillet in the oven.
5. Cook the racks of lamb for approximately 10-12 minutes for medium rare. Using tongs, turn the meat once while in the oven.
6. Remove the lamb from the pan and allow to rest 10 minutes before serving.
7. To Serve:
8. Brush the mustard on the front of the racks of lamb and cover with a generous coating of the herb bread crumbs.
9. Return the lamb to a hot oven to heat and brown the bread crumbs, approximately 4-5 minutes.
10. Carve the racks into individual chops and place in pairs down the center of the serving platter.
11. Present the platter at tableside and serve on warm plates with the Gratin and other seasonal vegetables as desired.
