2	tb	Olive oil
2		Boneless; trimmed lamb loins (14 oz ea)
2	tb	Dijon mustard
2	tb	Chopped fresh thyme
2	tb	Chopped fresh tarragon

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Lightly oil a large baking sheet. In a
large skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Add the lamb loins and cook,
turning occasionally, until seared on all sides. Transfer to a platter and
refrigerate until completely cooled. Brush each lamb loin with the mustard.
Combine the thyme, tarragon, and parsley on a plate, and roll each loin in
the herbs to coat. Divide the dough in half. According to the directions in
the Salt Crust Dough recipe, roll out each portion as thinly as possible.
Wrap each loin completely with dough. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes for rare meat, or longer, if desired. Remove from the
oven and let stand for 10 minutes. Using a hammer or the back of a heavy
knife, crack the crust, brushing off any clinging crust with a clean
kitchen towel. Carve the lamb crosswise into thin slices, season with the
pepper, and serve immediately on warmed plates. This recipe yields 4
servings.
