• Ready In: 36mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 1 rack of lamb, trimmed & frenched (about 1 1/2 lbs.)
• 4.92 ml salt
• 4.92 ml fresh ground black pepper
• 29.58 ml extra virgin olive oil
• 29.58 ml Dijon mustard
• 9.85 ml minced garlic
• 9.85 ml fresh rosemary (crushed)
• 59.14 ml seasoned bread crumbs
• 29.58 ml grated parmesan cheese

directions

1. Season rack of lamb well on all sides with salt and pepper.
2. 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.
3. Transfer the lamb to a plate and set aside to cool slightly before proceeding.
4. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Place the rack of lamb on a baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes for medium-rare.
8. Allow lamb to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before carving into chops to serve.

This was excellent - I wasn't sure where to add the rosemary so I mixed it with the bread crumbs and Parmesan. I roasted it with the mustard and garlic at 450 for about 10 mins and then added the crumbs and returned to the oven until an internal temperature of 135 - medium rare. About 10-15 more minutes. The crust was crisp and tangy and complemented mint jelly perfectly. I didn't make the fig chutney - maybe next time!

I saw this exact same recipe on the Food Network from Emeril. Other than slightly changing some ingredient amounts the directions and all were the same as Emeril's.
