Ingredients
Instructions
Place your rack of lamb on a foil sheet.
Salt/Pepper moderately (or use your favorite seasoning).
Cover entire rack of lamb moderately with Dijon or brown mustard.
Then season again and leave out for 2 hours to get to total room temperature.
Cover rack of lamb with Japanese panko crumbs (not Italian). Make sure there are no visible spaces of lamb showing
Sprinkle light salt over panko.
Cook at 375ºF (if oven) or place on charcoal smoker with Cherry Wood chunk. I used a PK360 smoker/grill in an offset configuration.
Turn over rack of lamb half way through the cook with bones AWAY from direct fire or they burn.
Remove immediately when internal temperature reaches 145ºF and let it rest for 10 minutes uncovered.
Slice and serve and enjoy that crispy panko and mouth watering tender rack of lamb!
Note
Serve with Pinot Noir, garlic cheesy bread
Pinot Noir is great with this dish.
