Steps:
- Season rack of lamb well on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat a medium skillet over high heat and, when hot, add the oil. When the oil is almost smoking, add the rack of lamb and brown well on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer the lamb to a plate and set aside to cool slightly before proceeding.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Using the back of a spoon, spread the mustard evenly over all sides of the lamb. Spread the minced garlic over the lamb in the same manner.
- In a small mixing bowl combine the breadcrumbs and grated cheese and toss to thoroughly combine. Using your hands or a spoon, spread the breadcrumb mixture evenly all over the lamb, pressing so that the crumbs adhere to the meat.
- Place the rack of lamb on a baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes for medium-rare. Allow lamb to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before carving into chops to serve.
- Serve with some of the Fig Chutney, if desired.
- In a large saucepan combine the vinegar, sugar, onion, ginger, mustard seeds, lemon zest, cinnamon stick, salt, allspice, and cloves and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until mixture is thickened and reduced by 2/3, forming a thick syrup. Add the figs and cook gently until the figs are very soft and beginning to fall apart and most of the liquid they've given off has evaporated, about 30 minutes.
- Transfer the chutney to a non-reactive container and allow to come to room temperature before serving. The chutney may be made up to 3 weeks in advance and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. (Alternately, hot chutney may be ladled into hot sterilized canning jars and processed in a hot-water bath according to manufacturer's directions.)

Tips:
- Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are a deep red color and have a good amount of marbling. Avoid chops that are pale or have a lot of sinew.
- Trim the lamb chops: Remove any excess fat or sinew from the chops. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
- Season the lamb chops generously: Sprinkle the chops with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also marinate the chops for a few hours or overnight to infuse them with flavor.
- Cook the lamb chops over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the chops and prevent them from becoming dry. Cook the chops for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- Let the lamb chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, making them more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Lamb chops are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can cook lamb chops that are perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad. You can also experiment with different marinades and seasonings to create your own unique lamb chop dish.
