This dish is made with a succulent rack of lamb that is coated in a flavorful herb crust, which gives it a crispy texture and a savory taste. The dish is served with a side of roasted vegetables and a rich red wine sauce that complements the lamb perfectly.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 rack of lamb (8 chops)
- 1 cup of breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh thyme
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 cup of red wine
- 1 cup of beef broth
- 2 tablespoons of butter
To start, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, parsley, thyme, rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper. Rub the olive oil all over the rack of lamb, then press the breadcrumb mixture onto the lamb, making sure it is evenly coated.
Place the lamb in a roasting pan and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare. Let the lamb rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
While the lamb is resting, make the red wine sauce. In a small saucepan, bring the red wine and beef broth to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted.
To serve, slice the lamb into chops and arrange on a platter with the roasted vegetables. Drizzle the red wine sauce over the lamb and enjoy!
