METHOD
Lamb: Heat a large sauté pan until hot. Brush the racks with oil and season with salt and pepper. Sear the lamb quickly on both sides then set aside to cool.
Combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan, butter, garlic, thyme and black pepper and spread evenly over the back of each rack.
Vegetables: Preheat the oven to 200°C. Peel and cut the potatoes and parsnips into batons. Cut the onion into 12 wedges. Toss the vegetables with the oil in a large roasting dish. Season well and place in the oven to roast.
After 15 minutes, add the garlic, thyme, parsley, zest and lemon juice, fennel seeds, olives, zucchini and tomatoes. Place the lamb racks on top and roast for a further 15 minutes.
Remove the lamb from the oven, cover loosely with a clean cloth and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Continue to roast the vegetables for a further 10 minutes.
To serve: Divide the vegetables between plates and place the carved lamb cutlets on top. Garnish with fresh herbs. Serves 6-8
