Rack of Lamb:
- 4 racks of lamb, trimmed
- 2 teaspoons herbes de Provence
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Pistachio Crust:
- 1 1/4 cups chopped unsalted pistachio nuts
- 3 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 6 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Season the lamb: Season each rack of lamb with herbes de Provence, salt, and black pepper.
- Sear the lamb: In a skillet, brown the lamb racks on all sides over high heat, then transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
- Prepare the pistachio crust: Mix pistachios, bread crumbs, butter, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Spread mustard on the fat side of each rack and pat the pistachio mixture on top.
