Rosemary Crumbed Rack of Lamb
Recipe video above. This is a recipe that really makes the most lamb racks which are a pricey cut of meat! Adding a crunchy rosemary-garlic crumb not only adds extra flavour but is also a great textural contrast to the soft and tender lamb meat. To stop the crumb falling off lamb racks, just add a touch of egg into the mustard spread. Egg is after all the ultimate natural food glue!Serve straight up (lamb cutlets are sooo juicy and tender, most people think no sauce is necessary!), with a Creamy White Wine & Mustard Sauce or else a Pea Puree (great colour and is as good as a sauce).

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F (all oven types). Place shelf in the middle of the oven.
2
Prepare Lamb:
3
Season: Sprinkle lamb rack with salt and pepper.
4
Sear: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a heavy based skillet over high heat. Sear lamb rack all over until nicely browned - including each short end - about 1 1/⏱️ 2 minutes on each side. It will be fully raw inside, but that's OK. Transfer to plate and let cool for ⏱️ 5 minutes, uncovered.
5
Mustard Spread: Mix dijon, rosemary and garlic in a small bowl. Then add 3 teaspoons of egg, and mix again.
egg (, lightly whisked (Note 2))3 tsp
6
Making the crumb: Mix Crumb ingredients EXCEPT butter in a bowl. Then use a fork to stir through butter. Spread on a dinner plate (large enough that fits lamb).
7
Crumbing the lamb: Spread the underside of the rack with mustard mix. Press into breadcrumb mixture, then spread mustard mix over the other side as well as each end. Then press those sides into the breadcrumb mixture.
8
Transfer lamb to rack set on a tray. Surround with parboiled vegetables if using - but don't crowd the lamb.
9
Roast: Frenched racks for ⏱️ 20 minutes, or untrimmed racks for ⏱️ 30 - 35 minutes, or until internal temperature registers 60°C/140°F (for medium rare).
10
Rest meat: Transfer lamb to a cutting board, loosely cover with foil. (If you roasted veg, leave in tray or pan and keep warm in turned off oven).
11
Carve: Rest ⏱️ 5 minutes then slice carefully using your hands to hold the crumb gently in place where you are cutting using a very sharp knife. If your service allows it, it's best to cut 2 or 3 bones together (ie. a double/triple cutlet portion), because the crumb stays on better. Slicing single cutlets is super hard (sadly)!
12
Serve as-is (no sauce), with Creamy White Wine & Mustard Sauce, or Pea Puree.
dry white wine (sauvignon blanc, pinto gris, semillon, or any blend)1 cup
13
Creamy White Wine & Mustard Sauce
dry white wine (sauvignon blanc, pinto gris, semillon, or any blend)1 cup
14
Boil wine and chicken stock together until reduced by 3/4, then whisk in cream and mustard and simmer for ⏱️ 3 - 5 minutes until thickened. The consistency should be a thin pouring sauce. We don't want to coat the lamb too thickly as the sauce flavour will be overpowering.
