Sunny's Rack of Lamb
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup plain bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- 8 sprigs thyme, leaves removed and lightly chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 rack lamb, frenched (8 bones approximately 1 1/2 to 2 pounds)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons stone-ground mustard
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Coating: Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
- Season the lamb all over with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Heat the oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- When the oil begins to swirl, add the lamb and sear it on all sides until golden and a nice crust has formed, about 2 minutes per side.
- Remove the lamb from the pan and brush with mustard on all sides.
- Press the coating onto the lamb, making sure to cover all sides.
- Put the lamb, bone side down, back in the pan and put it in the oven.
- Roast until the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, and the coating is golden brown, anywhere from 15 to 20 minutes for medium-rare.
- Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest 5 minutes before serving.
