Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
3 large shallots, minced (about 3/4 cup)
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons ancho chile powder (see Cook's Note)
1 1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 well-trimmed racks of lamb (each about 1 1/4 pounds)
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • For the crust:
  • In a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat, add the butter. When the butter is melted, add the shallots and thyme and saute until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the chile powder and stir. Add the bread crumbs and saute until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Remove the crumbs to a small bowl and let cool.
  • For the lamb:
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In the same large skillet over high heat, heat the oil. Working in batches, add the lamb racks to skillet, rounded side down. Sear until brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a clean cutting board, seared side up. Spread 2 teaspoons of the mustard over each rack. Press the crumb topping into mustard on the racks, dividing equally. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Roast in the oven until desired doneness, 25 minutes for medium well. Let the lamb rest 5 to 7 minutes before slicing. Arrange the sliced lamb on a serving platter and serve.
