directions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, mix bread crumbs with parsley, garlic, rosemary and all but a few tablespoons of olive oil.
  • Use the reserved tablespoons of oil to brush over the lamb and then season the lamb with salt and pepper.
  • Place the rack, meat side up, in a roasting pan, and spread the bread crumb mixture evenly over the meaty parts of the racks.
  • Roast for 15 minutes at 450 degrees F. and then reduce the heat to 400 and roast for another 10 minutes.
  • Remove the racks from the oven and place them under the broiler just to give the crust some extra color.
  • Let the meat rest for 8-10 minutes before carving.
  • Note: You can use more garlic, parsley or rosemary if you like.

  1. If it's good enough for Jackie it is certainly good enough for me! Simple, delicious recipe. Although the photos don't look it the rack was a very tiny one and took 20 minutes to come out just pink- Painting the rack with oil helps the crumbs to stick. I didn't need to place the rack under the broiler the crumbs were nicely browned after 20 minutes baking. Thanks Jackie & Oolala for sharing this recipe - I served the rack with New nugget potatoes, new carrots & kernel corn along with Scottish Mint Jelly - wonderful dinner fit for a queen or any first lady!

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
