An impressive pastured rack of lamb with a fragrant pistachio-herb crust.
A show-stopping pastured rack of lamb with a golden garlic-herb breadcrumb crust — impressive but surprisingly simple.

Pastured lamb is lean and full-flavored — a marinade seasons it through, adds moisture, and its acid gently tenderizes the meat while mellowing lamb's natural richness. It makes an especially big difference before grilling chops, steaks, or kebabs.

Sear the rack in an oven-safe skillet with olive oil over medium-high until browned all over, about 4 minutes.
Brush the fat side with mustard. Mix the panko, garlic, parsley, and rosemary and press it onto the mustard.
Roast for 18-22 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 130F for medium-rare.
Rest 10 minutes, then slice between the bones into chops.
Farm tip: Rest the rack a full 10 minutes so the juices redistribute — pastured lamb is leaner, so this keeps it moist.
Serving suggestion: Serve with roasted potatoes and asparagus or a mint gremolata.
