RACK OF LAMB WITH MUSTARD AND HERBS
My daughter served this for a dinner party recently, and we all really liked it, so I asked her for the recipe. She said she got if from her one of her Williams-Sonoma cookbooks, though I don't know which one. But I think this recipe produces a wonderfully flavorful rack of lamb that we all enjoyed. I hope you do, too.

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.)

- Transfer racks to a small (13- by 9-inch) roasting pan.
- Coat and roast lamb:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
- Stir together garlic, herbs, salt, pepper, and oil. Coat meaty parts of lamb with herb mixture, pressing to help adhere.

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.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality lamb. Look for racks of lamb that are bright red in color and have a firm, even texture. Avoid racks that are dull or have any signs of bruising or discoloration.
- Trim the lamb racks. Remove any excess fat or connective tissue from the racks of lamb. This will help the lamb cook evenly and prevent it from becoming tough.
- Marinate the lamb. Marinating the lamb in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to infuse it with flavor. You can marinate the lamb for as little as 30 minutes or for up to overnight.
- Cook the lamb over medium heat. Cooking the lamb over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out. You can cook the lamb in a pan, on a grill, or in the oven.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness. The internal temperature of the lamb should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Let the lamb rest before carving. Letting the lamb rest for a few minutes before carving will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
Rack of lamb is a delicious and versatile dish that can be prepared in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can ensure that your rack of lamb turns out perfectly every time. Serve the lamb with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.
