RACK OF LAMB IN AN ORANGE AND CAMPARI SAUCE

Steps:

• With a sharp knife, score the skin of the lamb in a lattice pattern.
• Heat a little oil in a frying pan and fry the lamb, skin side down for about 2 minutes until it starts to brown.
• Seal the lamb on all sides, until the meat is lightly browned.
• Place the racks in a roasting tin, skin side up and roast in the oven at 425°F for 20 to 35 minutes, depending on whether you like your meat pink or well done.
• To make the sauce, sweat the onion in a little oil and add the Campari.
• Simmer for 2 minutes.
• Add the orange juice and stock and reduce by one third.
• Strain off the onions.
• Melt the butter and mix with the flour.
• Whisk the roux into the sauce to thicken it.
• You might need it all but use until the sauce covers the back of a spoon.
• Stir in the orange rind and segments.
• Season to taste.

RACK OF LAMB

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, process the salt, rosemary, and garlic until they're as finely minced as possible. Add the mustard and balsamic vinegar and process for 1 minute. Place the lamb in a roasting or sheet pan with the ribs curving down, and coat the tops with the mustard mixture. Allow to stand for 1 hour at room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Roast the lamb for exactly 20 minutes for rare or 25 minutes for medium-rare. Remove from the oven and cover with aluminum foil. Allow to sit for 15 minutes, then cut into individual ribs and serve.

RACK OF LAMB WITH GARLIC-CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Place garlic, shallot and cream in a small saucepan. Bring to barely a simmer, cover and cook until garlic and shallot are very soft, 1 to 2 hours. Transfer to a blender and purée, adding more cream as needed. Set aside.
• Rub lamb all over with thyme; discard sprigs. Brush lamb with olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Sear or grill over medium-high heat until lamb reaches desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium.
• Reheat garlic mixture over very low heat (do not boil), adding more cream if sauce is too thick. Season lightly with salt and serve with lamb chops.
