Ingredients

4 Frenched lamb racks
1/4 cup fresh breadcrumbs
1 tbs rosemary leaves, finely chopped
1 tbs flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
3 tsp pesto

Roasted vegetable salad

500g kipfler potatoes, washed, halved
250g baby carrots
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 large red onion, cut into thick wedges
1/4 cup pine nuts
80g baby kale leaves

Dressing

2 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp wholegrain mustard

Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200C. Place potatoes, carrots and oil in a bowl. Toss well to combine and place in a single layer on a large oven tray. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes. Turn potatoes and carrots and add the red onion. Roast for 15 minutes before adding pine nuts and roasting for a further 5 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
Step 2

Place lamb in a roasting dish. Combine breadcrumbs, herbs, garlic and pesto in a bowl, mix well. Press evenly over lamb racks.
Step 3

Roast lamb uncovered for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 160C and cook for a further 15-20 minutes (medium rare) or until desired doneness. Remove lamb, cover loosely, and rest for 5 minutes before cutting the racks into cutlets.
Step 4

Meanwhile make the dressing by mixing lemon juice, oil and mustard. Add kale to vegetable mixture and pour over dressing. Toss gently to combine and serve with lamb.
