Main
Step 1
Set the EGG for indirect cooking with a convEGGtor at 450°F/232°C.
Step 2
Combine the olive oil with the mustard, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the parsley, thyme, rosemary and garlic, making a paste. Spread evenly all over the lamb, then season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Mix together the bread crumbs and the remaining 1 tablespoon (15 ml) chopped parsley until evenly distributed. Press the bread crumbs onto the rack of lack, making sure to cover evenly top and bottom and on the ends.
Step 4
Place seasoned rack of lamb in the rib and roast rack with the Rectangular Drip Pan underneath. Line the drip pan with aluminum foil to catch the juices and not burn on the pan. Roast for about 25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 125°F/51°C for medium rare. Remove from the EGG and let rest for 10 minutes before carving into chops.
For the Spring Veggies
Step 1
While the lamb is cooking prepare your spring veggie side dish. Blanch asparagus and green peas in boiling water - about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the boiling water and transfer to a bowl with ice water to cool. Heat butter until melted. In a large bowl, add asparagus and peas and pour butter over to combine. Add sliced radishes and tarragon. Season with salt and pepper to serve.
