Method

For the pistachio crust

  1. Preheat the oven to 108°C
  2. Chop the bread crumbs and place it on a baking tray. Bake while the oven is heating until the bread crumbles easily. Leave to cool.
  3. Peel the garlic, remove the seeds if necessary, and mash it to a paste.
  4. Wash and dry the parsley leaves. Mix with the pistachios and bread crumbs.
  5. Add butter and mix again.
  6. Flatten the dough between two sheets of baking paper to a thickness of 3-4mm, to a height and length corresponding to the size of the rack of lamb.
  7. Set aside in a cool place.

 

For the lamb

  1. Cut the potatoes in halves and coat with olive oil, salt and pepper.
  2. Season the rack of lamb with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan and brown the rack of lamb on both sides (about 5 minutes on each side).
  3. Place the lamb in a baking dish. Toss the potatoes around the lamb and bake for 20 minutes.
  4. Place your Armenian aubergines in a pan and reheat on a low heat.
  5. Take the pistachio crust to the size of the rack of lamb out of the fridge. Place it on the rack and put under the grill for a few minutes. Keep an eye on it as the crust should be barely browned. Leave the meat to rest, covered, for a few minutes, then cut the chops.
  6. Sprinkle with a few chopped parsley leaves and serve immediately with the Armenian aubergines.
