Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the mashed black garlic, softened butter, parsley, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix until well blended. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- Season the rack of lamb generously with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the tarragon and breadcrumbs to the skillet; mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the breadcrumbs are golden and toasted. Remove from heat.
- Brush the rack of lamb with Dijon mustard, then press the breadcrumb mixture onto the meat, ensuring an even coating.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat over high heat. Sear the lamb rack on all sides until nicely browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the seared lamb rack to a baking dish and roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C).
- Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the lamb rack slices with dollops of the black garlic compound butter on top.
Notes
For a twist, consider adding some grated Parmesan to the breadcrumb mixture for extra flavor.
