This one is a must for all your family gatherings.

Ingredients:

1 rack of lamb, trimmed (about 1 ½ pounds)

¾ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 tablespoons Spicy Ginger Pear Mustard

¼ cup seasoned bread crumbs

Season rack of lamb with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a medium skillet over medium high heat, and when hot, add oil. When oil is almost smoking, add the rack of lamb and brown well on both sides about 5-6 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool slightly.
