I had olives I needed to use up, and a rack of lamb... The depth of the lamb really took well with the strong flavor of the crust. I served it with mashed cauliflower and cheese. Ingredients:
1 lb rack of lamb |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper |
8 large green olives, pitted |
1 egg yolk |
1 tablespoon butter |
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese |
1 teaspoon thyme |
1 teaspoon basil |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 teaspoon lemon zest |
Directions:
1. Chop the olives finely and mix with all other crust ingredients.
2. Sprinkle the rack with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and sear the rack on both sides (about 1 minute per side), until browned.
3. Transfer rack of lamb to a cookie sheet. Spread the crust ingredients over the top of the lamb, and sort of press it on.
4. Bake in a 350F oven for 25-30 minutes. Then turn on the broiler and broil the lamb for about a minute to crisp up the crust a bit.
