Dust off that old Bordeaux, Parmesan-crusted Rack of Lamb is the perfect dish for a special date night at home.

Nothing says “you are special” more than preparing a decadent Parmesan-crusted Rack of Lamb for your dinner date (except maybe Butter Poached Lobster). Rack of lamb is going to be pricey and you will need to stop by a quality meat market to procure the lamb. Ask your butcher to “French” the rack. That just means to trim the fatty parts around the bones.

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Sear lamb in olive oil until golden brown on both sides. Spread mustard over lamb. Mix bread crumbs, cheese and herbs. Spoon over lamb. Roast in oven until meat thermometer reaches 145 degrees.

TGB Tip: Ask your butcher to grind the

trimmings for the best lamb burgers you

ever tasted.
