I used fresh lamb chops instead of rack of lamb. To give this recipe more of a French flair, I used herbes de Provence (recipe #18553) for the Italian seasoning and used homemade breadcrumbs.. I couldn't force myself to use garlic salt with expensive lamb, so used fresh garlic cloves instead. The lavender was subtle yet delicious, although I used fresh buds as that's all I had on hand. The Dijon gave the lamb a nice "zing". We really enjoyed the wine sauce.
