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.)

ROAST RACK OF LAMB WITH MINT SAUCE
The lamb that we buy today hardly requires a typical English mint sauce (the puckery flavor was originally designed to cut through the stronger taste of mutton), but the combination is by now a traditional and still-welcome one. Buttered carrots and a watercress salad would complement the lamb nicely. Uncork a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon or red Bordeaux.

Tips:
- Choosing the right cut of lamb: Look for a rack of lamb that is evenly marbled and has a good layer of fat on the outside. This will help keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Preparing the lamb: Before cooking, trim any excess fat from the rack of lamb and score the fat in a crisscross pattern. This will help the marinade penetrate the meat and prevent it from curling up during cooking.
- Marinating the lamb: Marinate the rack of lamb in a flavorful marinade for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight. This will help tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- Cooking the lamb: Cook the rack of lamb over medium-high heat until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, or 155°F for medium-well.
- Making the chutney mint glaze: While the lamb is cooking, make the chutney mint glaze by combining chutney, mint, vinegar, and honey in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened.
- Glazing the lamb: Brush the cooked lamb with the chutney mint glaze and broil for a few minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized.
Conclusion:
Rack of lamb with chutney mint glaze is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your lamb is cooked perfectly and that the glaze is flavorful and glossy. Serve the lamb with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dishes.
