Introduction

Lamb racks spell special occasion, so treat the ones you love with this Italian-inspired version.

Ingredients

  • 2 racks of lamb
  • Salt & Pepper
  • 4 tbsp pesto
  • 30g dried breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • Olive oil
  • TO SERVE:
  • New potatoes
  • Griddled asparagus

Method

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6. Halve lamb racks so you have four portions. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Combine the pesto and breadcrumbs in a bowl.
  • 2. Spread the meat with mustard and then the pesto mixture, to form a crust on the meat. Place the racks on a roasting dish and drizzle with olive oil.
  • 3. Roast for 20 minutes for medium meat, or 5 minutes longer for well done. Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil and rest for 10 minutes before serving with new potatoes and asparagus.
