RACK OF LAMB WITH A COFFEE AND AVOCADO
HONEY CRUST
Serves 4

1⁄4
1
cup toasted fresh bread crumbs
cup honey, preferably avocado honey
cup coarse-ground mustard
small rack of lamb (about 2 pounds)
Sea salt
Coarsely ground black pepper
Granulated garlic
1 cup strong brewed coff ee or espresso
1⁄4 cup white wine
1. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
2. Make a paste of the bread crumbs, honey and
mustard in a small bowl, mixing until just combined.
3. Season the lamb rack with salt, pepper and
granulated garlic. Spread the honey-mustard paste on the
meat side of the rack. Place the lamb rack in a baking dish
just large enough to hold it, preferably one that can also be
placed directly on the stove top. Pour the coff ee into the
bottom of the baking dish.
4. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the crust is set, then
baste with the pan drippings, trying not to dissolve the
honey-mustard mixture. Continue to bake until a meat
thermometer reads 130 F, 20 minutes or longer. Keep a
careful watch. If your racks are small, this may take less
time. Similarly, larger racks will take longer. When the
proper temperature is reached, remove from the oven.
Transfer the lamb rack to a warmed plate to rest while you
prepare the sauce.
5. Place the baking dish on the stove. Simmer the
drippings over the medium-high heat and add the wine to
deglaze the pan, stirring with a wooden spoon. Add any
additional juices that might have collected on the plate
from the resting lamb. Stir until the drippings and wine
