Rack Of Lamb With Sage Crust - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 (1 -1 1/4 lb) whole racks of lamb
kosher salt
black pepper, freshly ground
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese, finely grated
4 garlic cloves, minced
2/3 cup fresh sage leaf, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
balsamic vinegar

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 475\u00b0F.
Season the lamb generously with salt and pepper.
Place a large cast-iron skillet over high heat, when very hot, add the oil and sear one of the racks all over until it is very brown, about 2 minutes per side.
Transfer to a roasting pan fitted with a rack, laying it rounded side up.
Repeat with the remaining rack.
Cover with foil and set aside.
Place the remaining ingredients, except the vinegar, in a food processor.
Add 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper, and process until it forms a paste.
Press the paste onto the racks.
Roast until desired doneness, 15 min for medium rare.
Allow to rest for 5 min, covered, then carve and serve drizzled with balsamic vinegar.
