Rosemary Crumbed Rack of Lamb is an elegant and flavorful dish featuring tender lamb coated in a savory mixture of breadcrumbs, garlic, and fresh rosemary, then roasted to perfection. Ideal for special occasions or a gourmet dinner at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 racks of lamb, frenched (about 1.5 lbs each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • Optional: additional rosemary sprigs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the racks of lamb with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb racks for 2–3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs, rosemary, garlic, melted butter, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Brush the cooled lamb with Dijon mustard, then press the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top and sides of the racks.
  5. Place the lamb in a roasting pan, crust side up, and roast for 20–25 minutes for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness.
  6. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing between the bones.
  7. Garnish with rosemary sprigs if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use fresh breadcrumbs for better texture and flavor.
  • A meat thermometer is recommended; internal temperature should be 125–130°F (52–54°C) for medium-rare.
  • Pair with red wine and roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
