Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400ðF (200ðC).
  2. In a food processor or mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, finely chopped Italian parsley, chives, rosemary, sage, savory, thyme, and garlic puree.
  3. Blend or mix until the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the butter, creating a smooth compound butter.
  4. Mix the bread crumbs into the herb butter mixture until well combined.
  5. Season the rack of lamb generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
  6. Heat a heavy skillet over high heat with a drizzle of oil until smoking.
  7. Sear the rack of lamb on all sides, including the cut ends, until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  8. Spread the herb butter and breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top and sides of the seared lamb rack.
  9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
  10. Roast for 12-15 minutes for medium-rare, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat reads 130ðF (54ðC).
  11. Remove from the oven and let the lamb rest for 5-10 minutes before carving.
  12. Slice between the ribs to serve individual chops.
