Ingredients
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh rosemary leaves
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
- salt to taste
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1 rack of New Zealand lamb, fully French trimmed
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 1 cup plain bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Directions
- In a small bowl, mix the garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary and mint together. Rub the mixture over the lamb and refrigerate for an hour or overnight.
- Meanwhile, combine the bread crumbs and parsley in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Spray a roasting pan with nonstick spray and place it in the oven. Preheat the oven to 500F.
- Place the lamb, meat-side down in the hot roasting pan and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the lamb from the oven and reduce the heat to 400F.
