  • 2 oz Butter

Directions
  1. Simmer the peeled garlic cloves in the milk for 3-4 minutes.

  3. Purée in a blender until smooth.
  4. Season to taste.
  5. Bone the lamb racks.
  6. Trim the meat of excess fat and connective tissue.
  7. Rub the meat with a little olive oil and coat lightly with fresh thyme.
  8. Allow to marinate for several hours or overnight.
  9. If you have a good-quality brown lamb stock on hand, simmer 1 qt of it until reduced to a rich syrup and reserve.
  10. If you do not have lamb stock on hand, use the bones from the racks to make the jus, following these steps:

  14. Add the bones and trimmings and brown.
  15. Add the vegetables and bouquet garni.
  16. Stir, coating well with the oil, Cook for a few minutes.
  17. Deglaze the pan with the white wine or water and stir to dissolve the caramelized cooking juices.
  18. Cook until almost completely reduced.
  19. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes, skimming regularly.
  20. If the jus reduces too quickly, add more water.
  21. Strain and degrease further if necessary and continue to reduce until syrupy.
  22. Season the lamb with salt and pepper.
  23. Brown in 3 oz oil and the butter in a sauté pan.
  24. Finish cooking at reduced heat on top of the stove or, for more even cooking, in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 6 minutes, until rare or medium rare.
  25. Allow to rest 10 minutes. Slice each piece into 6 medallions.
  26. To serve, pour a little garlic cream sauce on the plate and arrange the medallions on top.
  27. Drizzle with a little of the reduced lamb jus.
  28. Serve each portion with a vegetable on a side dish.
