Ingredients

• 1 piece Rack of lamb (about 8 ribs)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh sage leaves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley leaves
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary leaves
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the rack in the center of the oven.

Step 2

Trim any excess fat from the rack of lamb and pat it dry with paper towels. Season the lamb generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 3

In a food processor, combine the sage, parsley, rosemary, garlic, panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Pulse until the mixture is fine and well blended.

Step 4

Rub the Dijon mustard evenly over the surface of the lamb. This will help the sage crust adhere.

Step 5

Press the breadcrumb mixture firmly onto the lamb, coating it evenly to form the crust.

Step 6

Place the rack of lamb in a roasting pan, bone-side down, with the crust exposed on top.

Step 7

Roast the lamb in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (51°C) for medium-rare or your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute for a tender result.

Step 9

Carve the rack of lamb into individual chops by slicing between the bones. Serve immediately, paired with your favorite sides.
