Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 medium shallots
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) chilled unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups Madeira
1 tablespoon drained green peppercorns in brine, coarsely chopped
2 1 1/4-pound racks of lamb, trimmed

Steps:

  • Finely chop 2 medium shallots. Melt 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in heavy small saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped shallots and sauté until tender, about 3 minutes. Add Madeira and green peppercorns. Boil uncovered until mixture is reduced to cup, about 12 minutes. Remove sauce from heat.
  • Arrange trimmed racks of lamb on rimmed baking sheet. Cut remaining 4 medium shallots in half and push through garlic press. Coat lamb with pressed shallots. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Cover sauce and lamb separately and refrigerate.)
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Roast lamb 25 minutes. Increase heat to 500°F and continue to roast until lamb browns and meat thermometer inserted into center of lamb registers 130°F, about 5 minutes longer. Let stand 5 minutes.
  • Bring peppercorn sauce to simmer. Whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cut lamb between ribs into chops. Arrange lamb chops on plates. Spoon peppercorn sauce around lamb and serve.

The lamb was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I would cook the lamb for a shorter amount of time next time.

This was a bit too spicy for my taste, but overall it was a good recipe. I would recommend using less peppercorns in the sauce.
