LAMB RACKS
- Rub lamb racks with extra virgin olive oil and season with garlic salt.
- On grill, place lamb racks fat side down and cook until fat starts to render and outside is golden brown.
- Turn racks, repeat process.
- Once racks are golden brown on both sides, but still rare in center, remove from heat and set on a roasting pan.
- In a small mixing bowl, mix together whole grain mustard, dijon mustard, and chopped parsley.
- Using a pastry brush, brush a layer of mustard on the back side of each lamb rack, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
- In a large saute pan, melt whole butter and saute panko bread crumbs, until they start to brown slightly, remove from heat and set aside.
- Sprinkle a layer of bread crumbs on the mustard so that the bread crumbs are approximately 1/8 inch thick.
- Roast in a 375 degree oven, until desired temperature is reached (130 degrees internal temp or medium-rare is recommended).
- Let meat rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing.
