This is a main course to impress!  It has the delicious flavours of herbs mixed with French Dijon mustard…..so good.  Remember to cook your lamb rack pink in the middle which retains more of the natural juices.

  2. Heat oven to 180°C.

  4. Remove from stovetop, and place frypan and lamb rack into oven for approximately 10 minutes.
