Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 racks of Colorado lamb (6–8 ribs each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the lamb racks dry with paper towels.
  3. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and Dijon mustard. Rub the mixture evenly over the lamb racks, coating all sides.
  4. In another small bowl, combine breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the lamb racks, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Place the lamb racks in a roasting pan, bone side down.
  6. Roast for 20-25 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired internal temperature is reached (140°F for medium-rare).
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving.

Notes

Tips:

  • You can adjust the cooking time depending on the thickness of your lamb racks and desired level of doneness.
  • Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the lamb reaches the desired internal temperature.
  • Let the lamb rest before carving to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
  • Feel free to adjust the seasonings and herbs in both recipes to your taste.
  • For a richer flavor in the roasted lamb recipe, you can add a few tablespoons of water or broth to the roasting pan.
  • The pan-seared lamb recipe pairs well with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.

No matter which recipe you choose, I’m sure you’ll enjoy a delicious and satisfying Colorado Rack of Lamb dish. Remember to serve it with your favorite sides and enjoy!
