Recipe - Rack Of Lamb Persillade (Mf)

2 tablespoon Olive oil
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup Minced shallots
1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
2 tablespoon Minced parsley
One half cup Fresh bread crumbs
1 Rack lamb
Salt and freshly ground
pepper

Blanched sugar snap peas tossed in butter as an accompaniment

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. In a small skillet heat the oil over
moderate heat until it is hot but not smoking, add the garlic and cook it,
stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the shallots and the rosemary and cook the
mixture, stirring, for 10 seconds. Stir in the parsley and breadcrumbs and
season with salt and pepper. Remove the skillet from heat.

Heat another ovenproof skillet over moderately high heat until it is hot
and brown the lamb, seasoned with salt and pepper, turning it, for 5
minutes, or until the sides and ends are browned evenly. Pour off any fat
from the skillet, arrange the lamb, and pat the crumb mixture evenly on the
fat and the meat sides of the lamb.

Bake the lamb in the middle of the oven for 15 minutes, or until a meat
thermometer registers 130 degrees for mediumrare meat. Transfer the lamb
to platter and let it stand, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Serve with buttered
sugar snap peas.
