Pistachio-Crusted Lamb Rack

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds lamb rack, trimmed of top fat
• 1 Tbsp salt
• 1 Tbsp black pepper
• 1 tsp dry thyme
• 1 tsp dry rosemary
• 1 tsp dry basil
• 1 tsp dry oregano
• 2 Tbsp oil
• 1 Tbsp melted butter
• 1 cup chopped pistachio nuts
• 2 Tbsp bread crumbs
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 3 Tbsp Dijon mustard

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 ˚F.
2. Cut the lamb rack into individual chops, leaving about an inch between the bones.
3. In a bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, dry thyme, dry rosemary, dry basil, and dry oregano. Season the lamb chops with the spice mixture.
4. Heat a high-heat cooking pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 Tbsp of oil to the pan. Sear the lamb chops on both sides until golden brown.
5. In another bowl, mix together melted butter, chopped pistachio nuts, bread crumbs, and olive oil.
6. Spread 3 Tbsp of Dijon mustard on top of the lamb chops. Press the pistachio mixture onto the mustard-coated lamb chops.
7. Transfer the lamb chops to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the internal temperature of the lamb reaches 145°F.
8. Remove the lamb chops from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
