Serves: 4

Prep Time: 15 min

Cooking Time: 40 min

Ingredients

2 lamb racks, frenched
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat the oven to 200°C

Step 2: Season and Coat the Lamb Racks

Season the lamb racks with salt and pepper on all sides. Brush the Dijon mustard evenly over the lamb racks, covering them completely.

Step 3: Prepare the Pistachio and Parmesan Crust

In a shallow dish, combine the chopped pistachios, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 4: Coat the Lamb Racks

Roll the mustard-coated lamb racks in the pistachio and Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crust to the meat.

Step 5: Sear the Lamb Racks

Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Place the lamb racks in the pan, fat side down, and sear for 2-3 minutes until the crust is golden brown and crispy.

Step 6: Roast in the Oven

Transfer the skillet or pan with the lamb racks to the preheated oven.

Roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the lamb reaches your desired level of doneness. (For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 55-60°C

Step 7: Rest and Serve

Remove the lamb racks from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the racks into individual chops and serve them hot.

Enjoy the succulent pistachio and Parmesan crusted lamb racks, with their crispy exterior and tender, juicy meat.
