Herb-Crusted Rack Of Lamb Recipe - A Mediterranean Delight

Ingredients

Servings:
2
  • 1 rack lamb (trimmed and frenched)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 cup bread crumbs (preferably from whole wheat bread)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Make sure the oven is fully heated before placing the lamb inside.
  2. Prepare the Herb Mixture

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

    Use fresh herbs for the best flavor.
  3. Coat the Lamb

    Rub the herb mixture all over the rack of lamb, ensuring it's evenly coated.

    Allow the lamb to marinate for at least 30 minutes for enhanced flavor.
  4. Add the Breadcrumbs

    Press the breadcrumbs onto the herb-coated lamb to create a crust.

    Make sure the breadcrumbs adhere well for a crispy finish.
  5. Roast the Lamb
