"This is such an elegant entree. The presentation is just beautiful - with the chops bones - and the beautifully browned crust.....so good. I served this with smashed garlic potatoes and Recipe #386491 - Favorite Creamed Spinach"

• 2 racks of lamb, Frenched

directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Combine bread crumbs, rosemary, parsley, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice - salt and pepper to taste. Mix.
3. In a roasting pan, roast lamb bone side down (cover the frenched bones with foil to keep from burning, if desired). Roast for about 25 minutes.
4. Remove lamb from oven, pack the herb-crumb mixture on the meat side of the lamb, pressing firmly.
5. Broil for 4-6 minutes more, or until the crust is browned. (Medium would be an internal temperature of 160 degrees).
