Lamb is a wonderful dish to serve on special occasions. This variation on rack of lamb uses a wonderful mixture of herbs for the crust. This dish is beautiful to serve and delicious to eat. Potatoes are a nice side dish and the two that I would recommend would be scalloped potatoes or twice baked potatoes.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Trim any excess fat from your 2 racks (8 chops each or about 2 and 1/2 pounds each). Place the lamb racks into a large roasting pan, bone side down and roast for about 18-25 minutes. Meat should read 135 degrees on a meat thermometer when it is done.
While lamb is roasting, in a small bowl, combine:
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh basil, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
When the lamb is finished roasting, remove from oven and preheat the broiler. Spread the bread crumb mixture over the racks of lamb. Broil for about 2-3 minutes, making sure not to let the crust burn. Transfer to a warmed platter and serve 2-3 chops per person.
