The best part about this recipe is how easy it is. Essentially, it’s a quick sear to lock in the flavor of the meat and a slow roasting to tenderize it. This creates a wonderful caramelized exterior and a very tender interior. The flavor combination between the sweet shallots, the savory the lamb and the zing of the mustard sauce makes this very simple dish that punches above its weight class!
INGREDIENTS:
For the Lamb:
1 Rack of lamb, 1 ¾ lb each rack (790g each rack)
1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
1 tsp (5 ml) salt
freshly cracked pepper, to taste
2 tbsp (30 ml) fresh rosemary, minced
For the Shallots:
2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
6 whole shallots, peeled and quartered
1 tsp (5 ml) balsamic vinegar
For Tomatoes:
4 medium tomatoes, tops sliced off
1 tsp (5 ml) olive oil
3 tbsp (45 ml) bread crumbs
1 tbsp (15 ml) Panko bread crumbs
½ tsp (2.5ml) Herbs de Provence
Salt and Pepper to Taste
1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh parsley, minced
For the Sauce:
2 cups (473 ml) heavy cream
2 tbsp (30 ml) Dijon Mustard
2 tbsp (30 ml) whole grain mustard
2-3 dashed Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh tarragon, chopped
8 (1-inch [2.5 cm]) sprigs of tarragon for garnish
METHOD:
Preheat oven to 325F.
Season all sides of the lamb with salt, pepper, and rosemary, pressing the seasonings into the racks so they stick. Place the racks in large resealable plastic bags and refrigerate overnight.
The bags will take up less room in your fridge than a casserole dish. You can even use those crispier drawers to store it as well. Let’s face it, it’s all about maximizing the fridge space during the holidays!
Before searing the lamb, assemble the Provencal tomatoes. Slice the tops off the tomatoes and just a sliver off the bottoms if needed to stabilize them. In a small bowl mix together the bread crumbs, seasonings and oil with a fork. Sprinkle mixture on each tomato and place them on a large, heavy bottom rim-lined sheet pan.
Before searing the lamb, brush off the rosemary. The lamb is already seasoned with its flavor and this will prevent burnt rosemary in your pan.
Add the olive oil to a wide skillet. Heat the skillet on medium-high and once the oil is shimmering sear the lamb on all sides until golden brown. This goes quickly and should only take about 3-4 minutes. Transfer the lamb to a plate to rest.
Place the shallots in the pan drippings, cut side down. Don’t move them until they start to caramelize and turn a golden brown. About 2 minutes or so. Then flip the shallots and sauté them until they are golden brown and fork tender. Season the shallots with salt and pepper to taste. Then add the balsamic vinegar, deglazing the pan and tossing the shallots to coat.
Transfer the lamb and shallots to the sheet pan with the tomatoes and roast together at 325F for 25 minutes for medium doneness. This will provide a nice pink interior and the best flavor.
Transfer the lamb to a carving board. Cover it with foil to keep warm and allow it to rest for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the mustard sauce.
In a large saucepan add the heavy cream, mustards, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and allow the sauce to thicken for 5-8 minutes. Add fresh tarragon and stir to combine.
To carve, place the lamb upright with the meaty side down and the bones up in the air and carve single chops in between the bones. Serve 2 chops per person, crisscrossing the bones at the top of the plate, with a few shallots tucked in between the meat side of the chop, at the bottom of the plate. Drizzle the chops with the mustard sauce and garnish with a 1-inch (2.5 cm) sprig of fresh tarragon. Set the tomatoes off to the side of each plate and serve.
