1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2

Season each rack of lamb generously with herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper.
3

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the lamb to the skillet and cook, turning, until browned on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Move the lamb to the prepared baking sheet.
4

Mix pistachios, bread crumbs, melted butter, and olive oil in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Spread mustard over the fatty side of the lamb, then press the pistachio mixture onto the mustard.
5

Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden and the lamb is pink in the center, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium doneness.

Transfer the lamb to a plate and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
