Fancy Rack of Lamb for Pre-Vday Dinner!

My hubby loves lamb, especially a nice rack of lamb, so I decided to make it for a Pre-Vday treat! I made a mustard-horseradish crust and baked it in the oven and it was amazing! The meat was cooked to perfection, just slightly pink on the inside and very tender. I served it with Tyler Florence's Ultimate Horseradish Sour Cream Mashed Potato and it was definitely a restaurant-quality meal at home! What are you doing for Vday?

Ingredients:


1 (1 lb) rack of lamb, 8 ribs, Frenched
Salt and pepper
3 Tbsp Dijon mustard
