Ingredients
Scale
1 rack of lamb (about 1.5 – 2 pounds), frenched for an elegant presentation
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 cup fresh parsley leaves, packed
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup fresh mint leaves
1/3 cup pine nuts
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper, to taste for the pesto
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh parsley, breadcrumbs, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Mix until well combined.
Generously season the rack of lamb with salt and pepper.
Brush a thin layer of Dijon mustard all over the lamb.
Pat the herb mixture evenly over the lamb, pressing it down to make sure it sticks.
Place the lamb on a roasting pan and cook in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes for medium-rare.
Once out of the oven, cover the rack lightly with foil and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes.
While the lamb is resting, toss your mint leaves, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, and pepper into a food processor and blend until smooth.
