1 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1/2 tsp salt

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400º; put rack in middle position.

In small bowl, stir together bread crumbs, parsley, mint, rosemary, salt and pepper; drizzle with 2 1/2 Tbsp oil; toss until well combined.

Season lamb/veal with salt and pepper.

In a large heavy skillet over moderately high heat, heat remaining tablespoon oil until hot, but not smoking; brown lamb, 1 rack at a time, turning once, ~ 4 minutes per rack. Transfer to a 13x9-inch roasting pan, arranging fatty sides up.

Spread fatty sides of each rack with 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard. Divide bread crumb mixture into 3 portions and pat each portion over mustard coating on each rack, pressing gently to adhere. Insert meat thermometer diagonally 2 inches into center (do not touch bone) of lamb racks.

Roast lamb until thermometer reaches 130º, ~ 20-25 minutes; transfer to a cutting board. Let stand 10 minutes; cut into chops.

Serve with roasted potatoes and your favorite vegetable.
