Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4.
-
Step 2.
Cut away the thick layer of fat on the outside of each rack of lamb and season well with salt and pepper.
-
Step 3.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the lamb racks and sear for 2 minutes on each side, until browned all over. Remove from the pan and set aside.
-
Step 4.
Place the feta cheese, breadcrumbs, green olives, chopped rosemary, parsley, anchovies, and black pepper in a food processor. Blend to a soft green paste.
-
Step 5.
Coat the lamb racks evenly with the crust mixture, pressing it on firmly with your hands.
-
Step 6.
Place the lamb racks in a large roasting pan and roast for 20 minutes, until the crust is crisp and the meat is still pink in the center.
-
Step 7.
Remove the lamb from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve with boiled green beans and new potatoes.
