April 12th, 2009
Panko crumbs (wiki) make the difference in this dish.
Ingredients
1 rack of lamb per person, all fat removed
Hot English mustard (or mild for wussies)
Chopped herbs, eg rosemary, flat leaf parsley, chives or a mixture of these
1 ½C panko crumbs
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Lemon infused olive oil (or plain olive oil if this is unavailable)
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C (360° F) fanbake
Spread a thin layer of mustard on the meat side of each lamb rack.
Place the herbs, crumbs and lemon zest in a small bowl. Add the lemon juice and enough olive oil to bind the crumbs together.
Pack the crumb mixture on the meat side of the lamb rack. Bake on a cooking paper lined baking tray for about ½ an hour, or until the lamb is medium rare.
