Rack Of Baby Lamb With Herb Crust - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 baby rack of lamb, about 7 chops
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
fresh ground pepper, to taste
rosemary (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Carefully trim the rack of lamb, leaving the rib bones as long as possible. Leave about 1/4 inch of fat on the outside of the rack. Cut neat crisscrosses in the fat with a sharp knife.
In a small mixing bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients.
Put the rack of lamb in a roasting pan and cook it in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove the lamb and reduce heat to 375 degrees F.
Pat the bread-crumb mixture on top of the rack and on the bony side to form a crust. Return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes. The lamb should be served very pink.
If you like it more well done, just make sure the crust isn't burning.
