RatingDifficultyIntermediate
TweetSaveShareShareBigOvenEmail
Prep Time25 minsCook Time1 hrTotal Time1 hr 25 mins
Ingredients:
 2 Frenched lamb racks, fat trimmed (6-9 bones per rack)
 2 tbsp herbs de Provence
 1 tbsp vegetable oil
 1 cup (150g) pistachios, toasted, finely chopped
 2 tbsp (40g) breadcrumbs, toasted
 2 tbsp garlic oil
 ¼ cup (60g) Dijon mustard
 2 tbsp walnut honey
Method:
1

Preheat BBQ to medium-high.

2

Pat lamb dry with kitchen paper and coat with herbs de Provence; season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a medium cast-iron skillet on the gas cooktop on the side burner; add lamb and brown on all sides for 5-7 minutes or until golden. Set aside to rest for 10 minutes.

3

In a medium bowl, mix pistachios, bread crumbs and garlic oil.

4

Combine Dijon mustard and honey; brush all over the lamb; press the pistachio mixture over the lamb, ensuring the mustard layer is covered.

5

Preheat BBQ to medium-low and set up for indirect cooking.

6

Place the lamb rack on the grill (away from the heat source) and close the lid.

7

After 20 minutes, wrap each bone with foil to prevent over-blackening. Continue cooking, with the lid on, for a further 15 minutes, or until the core temperature of the lamb reaches 50-52 Celcius when using a temperature probe.

8

Once the desired temperature is reached, remove from the heat, and rest for 5-7 minutes before slicing in 2 bone increments. Serve immediately.
