• 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.

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.)

CURRIED SPICES CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB

Steps:

• Start by preparing the seasoning mixture. Place all the dry ingredients in a small bowl mix all well. Place the lamb rack in a dish and rub the dry seasoning mixture all over. Sprinkle with the oil and set aside to marinate for at least 1 hour (this is my preferred way of doing it but you can always cook it straight away)
• When ready to cook, preheat oven to 200°C, place an ovenproof dish on the middle rack in the oven to heat up.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with a little drizzle of oil and leave until very hot. Place the lamb rack on the hot skillet, starting with the fatty side first and sear until golden brown all over. It is important to turn the rack on all sides and sear all around (2 minutes on each sides), the slightly roasted (not burnt) spices including the curry powder will enhance the flavour of the meat. I tend to use a tong to hold the rack which you control of the meat and also making sure the searing is even.
• Using an oven glove remove the hot dish from the oven and place the seared lamb rack in the dish. Carefully wrap the lamb ribs with kitchen foil; this will prevent them from drying out and burn.
• Drizzle with the melted fat from the pan all over the meat. Transfer to the oven and roast for about 15 - 20 minutes or until the top layer is nicely browned. (You can use a kitchen thermometer to check the meat temperature, inserted diagonally into the thickest part of the meat if register 60°C for medium rare.
• Remove from the oven and transfer onto a cutting board. Leave to stand for 5 -10 minutes before carving into chops.
• Serve with a medley of roasted vegetable or saffron rice and a tangy, spicy tomato chutney.
