- 2 tbsp. basil
- Zest of 1 lemon

Heat the remaining oil in an ovenproof frying pan. Season the lamb, then brown it well on all sides and turn off the heat. Turn the racks so that they are fat-side up, and brush liberally with Maille Dijon mustard. Pat in the herb crust, drizzle with a bit more oil, and roast for 25 mins until the crust is golden and the lamb is cooked

Serve with wilted spinach, seasoned with honey mustard and a creamy mash potato.
