RACK OF LAMB PERSILLADE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the racks in a roasting pan, fat side up. Rub the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Roast the lamb for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the parsley and garlic in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until they're both finely minced. Add the bread crumbs and lemon zest and process for a second until combined.
• Take the lamb out of the oven and quickly press the parsley mixture on top of the meat. Drizzle with the melted butter and return immediately to the oven and roast for another 15 minutes.
• Take the lamb out of the oven and cover with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for 15 minutes, cut in double chops, and serve.

RACK OF LAMB PERSILLADE

Steps:

• Pre-heat 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 oven-proof 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 medium-rare meat. Transfer the lamb to platter and let it stand, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Serve with buttered sugar snap peas.

INSIDE-OUT LAMB PERSILLADE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Trim excess fat from lamb. In a food processor, make persillade by puréeing olive oil, parsley, rosemary, garlic, lemon zest and some salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle lamb with salt and pepper on both sides, then turn so the side that had been on the bone, the one with the more irregular surface, is facing up, with the wider end facing you. Smear the surface of lamb with most of persillade mixture, then fold it in half (there will be a kind of natural hinge, as you'll see) with persillade on the inside. Smear the remaining persillade on outside of the lamb and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Put lamb in a roasting pan and cook for about 35 to 40 minutes for rare meat, or until an instant thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reads 130 degrees, or, for medium rare, 135 degrees.
• Transfer the lamb to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes; slice, and serve with fresh lemon wedges.
