Scale
- 1.5 lbs rack of lamb
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup salted crushed and pistachios (without shell)
- 4–5 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking dish or baking sheet with tinfoil.
- Prepare rack of lamb by trimming the excess fat that surrounds the sides. Pat dry, cover with plastic wrap, leave room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Heat a large frying pan on medium- high heat. Add olive oil. Unwrap the lamb and season with salt and pepper. Sear in hot pan (about 3-5 minutes per side of exposed meat). Sear until nice brown color on all sides.
- Let cool (about 20 minutes). Once cooled rub with mustard (use hands). Press pistachios on top of mustard to form a nice even layer.
- Place rack on prepared baking dish and cook for about 20-25 minutes (medium cook) until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 135 degrees F. Cover the rack of lamb with tinfoil if the pistachios start to brown too much.
- Let rest about 10-15 minutes before cutting meat
