Pesto Crusted Rack of Lamb

The four-step method for roasting these lamb racks—a quick sear for color and flavor, a brief rest so the meat can relax, a coating of bright, lemony parsley pesto and cheesy breadcrumbs, and then a roast in a hot oven—yields lamb that’s tender, tasty, juicy, and beautiful, to boot.

Salting the meat for this recipe and letting it sit overnight helps season the meat and developed more flavor. To get a good crust and tender meat without overcooking, sear the roast on the stovetop and then finished it in a low oven.
