Mustard Crusted Rack Of Lamb Recipes

Steps:

• Stir together bread crumbs, parsley, mint, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a bowl, then drizzle with 2 1/2 tablespoons oil and toss until combined well.
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat to 400°F.
• Season lamb with salt and pepper. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a large heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown lamb 1 rack at a time, turning once, about 4 minutes per rack. Transfer to a 13- by 9- by 2-inch roasting pan, arranging fatty sides up.
• Spread fatty sides of each rack with 2 teaspoons mustard. Divide bread crumb mixture into 3 portions and pat each portion over mustard coating on each rack, gently pressing to adhere.
• Roast lamb until thermometer inserted diagonally 2 inches into center (do not touch bone) registers 130°F (for medium-rare), 20 to 25 minutes, and transfer to a cutting board. Let stand 10 minutes, then cut into chops.

Steps:

• Mix olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.
• Place the whole rack of lamb into a large zip-top bag and pour mustard mixture all over it. Massage the sauce into the meat until fully coated. Place in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or up to 6 hours.
• Clean an outdoor grill and preheat for high heat. Lightly oil the grate.
• Remove lamb from the refrigerator and discard marinade. Wrap exposed bones in a layer of aluminum foil to prevent them from burning and flaking.
• Place lamb on the preheated grill over direct heat. Sear the surface briefly, just until a dark brown crust starts to form, about 3 minutes; be careful it doesn't burn. Flip and sear the other side.
• Move onto indirect heat and close the grill. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 120 degrees F (58 degrees C) for medium rare, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Transfer lamb to a serving dish and cover with foil for 5 minutes. Remove all foil and cut into chops to serve.

Steps:

• Mix the bread crumbs, parsley, mint, rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a small bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and stir to combine. Set aside.
• Bring lamb to room temperature. Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and arrange the coals on one side of the charcoal grate (modified two-level). Set cooking grate in place, cover gill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate. Season the racks liberally with salt and pepper. Place the lamb fat side down close to, but not directly over, the coals. Cover and grill until well browned, about 8 minutes, turning 180 degrees half way through. Remove racks from the grill and place fat side up on a platter or cutting board.
• Spread the mustard over the fat side of the lamb. Carefully press the breadcrumb mixture into the mustard on each rack.
• Place the racks back on the grill, fat side up, close to, but not directly over, the coals. Continue to cook until an instant read thermometer registers 130F when inserted into the side of the rack, another 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the grill and let rest uncovered for 10 minutes. Cut between each rib into chops and serve.

Steps:

• Pat the lamb dry with paper towels. Combine all the remaining ingredients in a zip-top plastic bag; add the lamb, seal the bag, and knead it around the lamb to work in the marinade and coat the meat thoroughly. Let it sit at room temperature for an hour or refrigerate overnight. If refrigerating overnight, bring to room temperature before roasting; this takes about 2 hours.
• Position the oven racks so that the top rack is 6 inches below the top of the oven. Preheat the oven to convection roast at 500°F. Coat the meat roasting rack that comes with your oven with nonstick spray for easier cleanup. Set the rack over its pan.
• Remove the meat from the marinade, leaving a coating on the meat. Discard the bag and the rest of the marinade. Place the lamb on the roasting rack, fat side up, place on the top oven rack, and roast for 5 minutes for rare or 8 minutes for medium-rare. Turn the lamb over and continue roasting for 5 more minutes for rare and 8 minutes for medium-rare. Remove the lamb from the oven, cover it with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
• Cut between the bones of the rack and serve the lamb in 1-rib pieces.

Steps:

• Season rack of lamb well on all sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat a medium skillet over high heat and, when hot, add the oil. When the oil is almost smoking, add the rack of lamb and brown well on all sides, about 6 minutes.
• Transfer the lamb to a plate and set aside to cool slightly before proceeding.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Using the back of a spoon, spread the mustard evenly over all sides of the lamb. Spread the minced garlic over the lamb in the same manner.
• In a small mixing bowl combine the breadcrumbs and grated cheese and toss to thoroughly combine. Using your hands or a spoon, spread the breadcrumb mixture evenly all over the lamb, pressing so that the crumbs adhere to the meat.
• Place the rack of lamb on a baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes for medium-rare.
• Allow lamb to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before carving into chops to serve.
