Pistachio-Crusted Pastured Rack of Lamb

Ingredients

  • 1 Queen City Farm pastured rack of lamb (frenched)
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400F. Season the rack and sear in olive oil until browned all over.

  2. 2

    Brush the fat side with mustard.

  3. 3

    Mix the pistachios, breadcrumbs, and rosemary and press onto the mustard.

  4. 4

    Roast 18-22 minutes to 130F, then rest 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Farm tip: Chop the pistachios fine so the crust holds together and toasts evenly.

Serving suggestion: Serve with a pea puree or roasted fingerlings.
