  6. Reduce temperature of the pan to a low – medium heat.
  7. Cut head of garlic horizontally & place flat side down in the pan.

  11. Lower oven to 400 degrees F.
  12. Brush with a thin layer of mustard & roll around in pistachio breadcrumbs until meat has been fully coated.

  14. When lamb reaches 120 degrees F take out & allow to rest for 5-10 minutes.

Notes: Be sure to use a very sharp knife to cut the lamb. The crust will be very fragile
