Ingredients
2 slices toasted white bread, crust trimmed
1/2 cup coarsely chopped mint
1/2 cup grated parmesan
1 tsp olive oil
3 tbsp pesto
1 rack of lamb, about 8 ribs
1/3 cup sweet mango chutney
1/4 tsp curry powder
1/4 tsp cumin
1 rack of lamb, about 8 ribs
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tbsp hot chili-garlic sauce
1 tbsp honey
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp dark sesame oil
1 rack of lamb
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Tear toast into large pieces and place in a food processor. Add mint, cheese and oil. Pulse until coarse crumbs form. Smear fat-side of 1 lamb rack with pesto. Generously mound with breadcrumb mixture, gently pressing so it sticks. Place lamb, coating-side up, on a foil-lined baking sheet or rack set on a baking sheet.
Place chutney in a bowl. Remove any chunky pieces and finely chop, then return to bowl. Stir in curry and cumin. Smear over fat-side of 1 lamb rack. Place lamb, coating-side up, beside other rack on baking sheet.
In a small bowl, stir hot chili-garlic sauce with honey, Dijon and sesame oil until evenly mixed. Smear over fat-side of remaining lamb rack. Place lamb, coating-side up, beside other racks arranging at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) apart.
Roast in centre of oven until a thermometer inserted into centre of meat reads 140F (60C) for medium-rare, about 25 min. depending on size of rack.
Let stand 5 min. Slice into chops. Sprinkle chutney-curry chops with cilantro, if you wish.
Roasting three succulent racks of lamb offers your palette a little variety: Each rack has a unique flavour of its own. Cooking them all in one baking pan is a great way to taste-test without a lot of fuss.
