Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 450°.
  • Prepare lamb racks as described in notes below, frenching if necessary.
  • Cut into double chops, then season with salt and pepper. Sear chops in oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat until brown, 1–2 minutes per side.
  • Combine all ingredients for the sauce in a bowl. Dip seared chops into sauce and arrange on a rack placed over a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast 15–20 minutes for medium-rare (125–130°).
  • Remove from oven, tent with foil, and allow to rest 5 minutes before serving.
  • While chops roast, bring remaining sauce to a boil, then simmer 5 minutes. Serve chops with sauce on the side for dipping
  • C@H Note:
  • Slice the racks into meaty double chops, 2 bones per chop.
  • Sear chops in batches using a mild oil, like vegetable. It won’t compete with the powerful flavors of the sauce.
  • Line the pan with parchment to protect it—the sugars in the sauce will burn quickly.
  • Frenching Lamb Racks:
  • Score 2–3" from the end of the bones. Remove fat between bones, then scrape.
  • To “french” a rack of lamb is to cut away meat and fat to expose the rib bones. This
  • makes for a nice presentation and easier carving. Today, it’s common to buy lamb frenched already. But it’s easy to French the rack yourself if you have to.
  • First, using a thin, sharp knife, score the back of the rack. Following this line as a guide, cut out the meat between the bones from this point up, see photo above. Then, scrape off any meat or fat left clinging to the bones.
