Looking for that perfect Easter recipe to impress your guests? These herb-crusted lamb chops are simple, elegant and extremely easy to prepare (opt for local lamb if you can, and organic lamb for a splurge). All they need is a quick sear in the pan, a dip in Dijon mustard and a coating of breadcrumbs flavoured with organic herbs: parsley, dill, mint, sage and oregano. The crust is key as it helps seal in moisture for tender lamb every time. Just perfect with a vibrant vegetable side, like grilled asparagus and crispy potatoes.

Note from Ricardo

Cleaning a rack of lamb involves removing any excess fat and cleaning the bones (a process known as Frenching). You can ask your butcher to do it for you.
