Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the lamb rack generously with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine the chopped pistachios and fresh coriander.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb rack, fat side down, for about 3-4 minutes until browned. Turn and sear the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the lamb from the skillet and brush the Dijon mustard over the meat.
- Press the pistachio and coriander mixture onto the mustard-coated lamb, ensuring an even crust.
- Place the lamb rack on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.
- While the lamb is roasting, prepare the caramelized fennel. In the same skillet used for the lamb, add the sliced fennel and sauté over medium heat until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Once the fennel is caramelized, remove it from the heat and fold it into the compound butter mixture.
- When the lamb is done, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve with a generous dollop of the caramelized fennel compound butter on top.
Notes
For an extra flavor boost, you can add crushed garlic to the skillet when sautéing the fennel.
