Steps:
- Mix the bread crumbs, parsley, mint, rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a small bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and stir to combine. Set aside.
- Bring lamb to room temperature. Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and arrange the coals on one side of the charcoal grate (modified two-level). Set cooking grate in place, cover gill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate. Season the racks liberally with salt and pepper. Place the lamb fat side down close to, but not directly over, the coals. Cover and grill until well browned, about 8 minutes, turning 180 degrees half way through. Remove racks from the grill and place fat side up on a platter or cutting board.
- Spread the mustard over the fat side of the lamb. Carefully press the breadcrumb mixture into the mustard on each rack.
- Place the racks back on the grill, fat side up, close to, but not directly over, the coals. Continue to cook until an instant read thermometer registers 130F when inserted into the side of the rack, another 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the grill and let rest uncovered for 10 minutes. Cut between each rib into chops and serve.

Steps:
- For the racks.
- Trim any excess fat off of the Lamb and set to one side.
- Combine all the chopped herbs in a bowl with both of the bread crumbs, Take each lamb rack and spread about 1 teaspoon of mustard on each. This may be a little more or less depending on how big the individual racks are. You want enough to completely coat. Then press the herb mixture onto mustard, again coat completely.
- Pre-heat oven to 200c. Place lamb in baking dish on a wire rack drizzle a little olive oil over racks and cook for 25-30mins. Remove lamb from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
- The lamb will be pink inside if you prefer your lamb a little more well done just cook for longer.I like my lamb meat pink, so if the crust is not golden or crisp enough, I just turn on the grill to brown the crust off rather than cook for longer and end up with over cooked meat.
- For the Parsnip mash.
- Peel and chop parsnips into small chunks. I tend to take a little of the core off as this is a little more bitter than the rest of the veg but it is not necessary. Put chopped parsnip in pan and cover with milk cook simmering until tender then drain.
- Blend or process parsnip adding butter, mustard and cream until smooth. I have listed 1/4 cup of cream this can vary depending on size of parsnip used, so add more or less as needed. Also depending on what brand of mustard you use will depened on the quantaty you use. I buy a really good brand from france and it has a good flavour without being overpoweriing. Some dijons can be quite strong so if the brand you buy is strong I would recommend using less as this will overpower the yummy natural flavour of the parsnip.
- To serve place mound of mash in the middle of the plate place rack on top and drizzle red wine gravy around the plate.

Tips:
- For a crispy crust, ensure the Dijon mustard is evenly spread over the lamb and that the herb and breadcrumb mixture is firmly pressed onto the mustard.
- To achieve a tender and juicy lamb, cook it to the desired internal temperature using a meat thermometer. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C). Let the lamb rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Enhance the flavor of the lamb by using fresh herbs and high-quality Dijon mustard. Experiment with different herb combinations to create a unique taste profile.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, insert a knife into the thickest part of the lamb. If the juices run clear, the lamb is cooked to medium-rare. If the juices are still pink, continue cooking for a few more minutes.
- Serve the lamb rack with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a light salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
Conclusion:
Mustard and Herb Crusted Lamb Rack is an elegant and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a gourmet dinner party. The combination of Dijon mustard, aromatic herbs, and crispy breadcrumbs creates a tantalizing crust that complements the tender and juicy lamb.
