  • Fresh bread crumbs  ·  1/2 cup 
  • Olive Oil  ·  1 tablespoon 
  • Garam Masala Mustard  ·  2 tablespoons

Instructions

Bring lamb to room temperature.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a small bowl toss bread crumbs with ½ TBSP olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

When oven is preheated season lamb with salt and pepper.

Heat a heavy sauté pan and add remaining olive oil.

Brown rack of lamb fat side down to start, flip after 2 minutes, and cook brown other side of 2 minutes.

Transfer lamb to a roasting pan, with a rack, fat side up. Spread the top of lamb rack with Garam Masala mustard. Pat the bread crumbs into the mustard, pressing gently so it will stick.
