Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500 or 525 degrees.
- Have the meat cutter hack away the chine bone of each rack. Take care that all scraps of meat and bone are reserved. Cut the chine bones into two-inch pieces and set aside. There is a top coating of fat on top of each rack. At one side of each rack there is a small, cartilage like half-moon-shaped shoulder blade between the meat and the top coating of fat. Have this removed.
- Using a sharp knife, make deep diamond-shaped scorings down to the bottom of the top layer of fat. Neatly trim the bottom of each rib to make them French style, which is to say neatly trimmed of all meat and fat. They should be trimmed about one inch from the bottom. Sprinkle the racks with salt and pepper and cover the French-style ends of the chops with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- Scatter the scraps of meat and bones over the bottom of a shallow roasting pan large enough to hold the racks in one layer. Scatter the thyme and garlic cloves over the scraps. Arrange the racks, fat side up, in the baking dish. Put two tablespoons of the butter on top of each rack.
- Put the lamb in the oven and bake 20 minutes. Turn the racks and continue roasting about 15 minutes.
- Transfer the racks to a warm platter. Put the roasting pan on top of the stove and heat the pan liquids. Add the water. Let simmer 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, remove the garlic cloves and remove the outer coatings. Chop the garlic to a fine puree and set aside.
- Beat the whites until stiff. Add the parsley, green peppercorns and mustard. Blend well.
- Discard the foil from the lamb racks. Smear half the beaten white mixture on top of each rack. Sprinkle each rack with an equal amount of the bread crumbs. Pat the crumbs lightly to make them adhere.
- Melt the remaining three tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan. Dribble the butter on top of the racks.
- Return the lamb to the oven and bake about five minutes or less until the top of lamb coating starts to brown. Place the lamb briefly under the broiler to give a nice brown glaze.
- Strain the pan juices from the roasting pan into a saucepan. Add the reserved chopped garlic. Stir and reheat briefly.
- Carve the lamb, slicing between each two ribs, and serve with pan juices.

RACK OF LAMB WITH GARLIC AND HERBS
Steps:
- Brown lamb:
- Heat a dry 12-inch heavy skillet over high heat until hot, at least 2 minutes. Meanwhile, pat lamb dry and rub meat all over with salt and pepper. Add oil to hot skillet, then brown racks, in 2 batches if necessary, on all sides (not ends), about 10 minutes per batch.
- Transfer racks to a small (13- by 9-inch) roasting pan.
- Coat and roast lamb:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
- Stir together garlic, herbs, salt, pepper, and oil. Coat meaty parts of lamb with herb mixture, pressing to help adhere. Roast 15 minutes, then cover lamb loosely with foil and roast until thermometer inserted diagonally into center of meat registers 120°F, 5 to 10 minutes more. Let stand, covered, 10 minutes. (Internal temperature will rise to 125 to 130°F for medium-rare while lamb stands.)
- Cut each rack into 4 double chops.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Strip most of the surface fat from the lamb. (Your butcher may already have done this.) Cut between the ribs, almost down to the meaty eye. Divide each rack in half down the middle, sprinkle with salt and pepper and place in a roasting pan.
- Roast for 15 minutes, then insert a meat thermometer straight in from one end into the meatiest part. If it reads 125 degrees or more, remove the lamb immediately. If it reads 120 degrees or less, put the lamb back for about 5 minutes, no more. Remove and let sit for 5 minutes; this will give you medium- to medium-rare lamb on the outer ribs, medium rare-to-rare in the center. Cook a little longer for more doneness. Serve, separating the ribs, if desired, by cutting down straight through them.

RACK OF LAMB WITH GREEN PEPPERCORN SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- In a roasting pan season lamb with salt and arrange rib sides down. Roast lamb in middle of oven until a thermometer inserted 2 inches into center of a rack registers 130°F., about 25 minutes, for medium-rare.
- While lamb is roasting, mince shallot and with flat side of a large knife crush peppercorns. In a small saucepan cook shallot in 1 tablespoon butter over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add peppercorns and wine and simmer until liquid is reduced to about 1/3 cup.
- Transfer lamb to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes. Skim fat from roasting pan and add red-wine mixture to pan, stirring and scraping up any browned bits. In saucepan simmer sauce until reduced to about 1/4 cup. Whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons butter until incorporated and season sauce with salt if necessary.
- Cut lamb into individual chops and pour sauce over them.
Tips:
- Choose a high-quality rack of lamb: Look for lamb that is a deep pink color with a fine grain and no yellowing. The bones should be well-trimmed, and the meat should be firm to the touch.
- Season the lamb generously: Rub the lamb with a mixture of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or paprika.
- Sear the lamb in a hot skillet: This will help to create a flavorful crust and prevent the lamb from drying out. Sear the lamb for about 2 minutes per side, or until it is browned.
- Roast the lamb in a preheated oven: The roasting time will vary depending on the size of the lamb rack. A 1-pound rack of lamb will typically take about 20 minutes to cook to medium-rare.
- Let the lamb rest before carving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful. Let the lamb rest for at least 10 minutes before carving.
Conclusion:
Roast rack of lamb is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your roast rack of lamb turns out perfectly every time.
