Pistachio Crusted Lamb Rack With Goat Cheese Mashed Potatoes

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Season the racks with Essence. Place the racks, bone-side up on the grill and cook for 2 min. Remove from the grill and cold. Smear each chop with Creole Mustard.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the pistachios and bread crumbs with the extra virgin olive oil. Season the crumbs with Essence. Mix the crust thoroughly. Dredge each rack in the bread crumb mix, coating each rack completely. Place the racks on a parchment-lined baking sheet and place in the oven. Roast the chops for 12 to 15 min for medium-rare.
4. In a large saute/fry pan, over medium heat, heat the butter. Add in the onions. Season with salt and cayenne. Cook for 3 min, stirring. Add in the tomatoes, olives, garlic, green onions, and herbs, and black pepper, stirring, for 2 min. Add in the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and continue to cook for 2 min.
5. Remove the chops from the oven and rest for about 2 min before serving. To serve, mound the potatoes in the center of each plate. Spoon the sauce around the potatoes. Slice each rack into individual chops. Arrange three chops around each mound of potatoes. Garnish with green onions.
6. This recipe yields 4 servings.
