Instructions: In a small bowl, combine the marinade ingredients. Rub the lamb with the marinade and allow to marinate, chilled and covered, for 30 minutes or up to overnight.

In a small skillet cook the shallot and garlic in the butter over moderate heat, stirring, until softened. Add the bread crumbs, parsley, thyme, rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste, heat the mixture, stirring, for 2 minutes, and remove the skillet from the heat.

In a large, hot skillet sear the lamb, browning on all sides. Pat the crumb mixture firmly onto the browned lamb. Place the lamb in a 450 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes for medium rare.

Yield: 2 servings
