RACK OF LAMB WITH HONEY-HAZELNUT CRUST

1/4 cup honey
1 cup hazelnuts -- ground
1 cup white bread crumbs -- fresh
3 tablespoons fresh rosemary -- minced
4 1/2 pounds lamb racks -- frenched
3 tablespoons dijon mustard
3 tablespoons honey
salt and pepper as needed

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine hazelnuts, fresh bread crumbs and minced rosemary in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the honey and dijon mustard. Arrange the lamb racks meat side up in a single layer on sheet pans that have been sprayed. Season lamb with salt and pepper. Brush each rack with 1 tablespoon of the honey-dijon mixture. Press 2/3 cup breadcrumb mixture onto each rack. (Racks can be prepared this far up to one day in advance.) Drizzle each lamb rack with 1 tablespoon honey. Roast until meat thermometer registers 125 degrees. Racks must rest for at least 10 minutes before carving. Cut between each rib bone to order to separate into chops.
