It seems that almost all the lamb recipes you see call for rosemary, but I am a fan of tarragon so i used it here and then coated the lamb with a parmesan dijon mixture that makes for a wonderful piquant crust on the meat. —LeBec Fin

I am so excited by the level of sophistication that I see on Food52 and hope to contribute recipes that will inspire you like yours do me. I would like to ask a favor of all who do try a recipe of mine > Would you plse review it and tell me truthfully how it worked for you and/or how you think it would be better? I know many times we feel that we don't want to hurt someone's feelings, but. i really do want your honest feedback because it can only help me improve the recipe.Thanks so much.
