Recipe type: Entree
Serves: 2 to 4
Ingredients
  • 1 rack of lamb, about 1 to ½ pounds
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • Salt and pepper
  • ¼ cup breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium high heat in a skillet large enough to fit the lamb. Season the meat liberally with salt and pepper and sear until all sides of the rack are browned well. Remove meat to a roasting pan and let cool in the refrigerator until you are ready to roast it.
  2. Combine the bread crumbs, cheese, parsley, and remaining oil in a small bowl and mix to combine. The bread crumbs should feel sandy. Just before roasting, press the bread crumb mixture onto the top side of the rack. Roast in a 450 degree oven until a meat thermometer inserted into the middle of the meat registers 120, about 20-25 minutes. The temperature will rise to 125 as it rests before slicing into chops.
