Honey and Citrus Rack of Lamb

Instructions

1. With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180 ° C (350 ° F).
2. Thoroughly trim the fat off the lamb racks and clean the bones, if needed, or ask the butcher to do it. Season the meat with salt.
3. In a skillet, brown the meat in the oil and butter. Remove the meat from the pan and set aside in a baking dish.
4. In the same skillet, add the remaining ingredients and reduce until the sauce is syrupy, about 5 minutes. Put the lamb back in the skillet and coat with the sauce.
5. Transfer back to the baking dish. Cover with the remaining sauce.
6. For medium-rare, bake for about 10 minutes or until meat thermometer reads about 60 °C (140 °F). Remove from the oven. Cover with aluminum foil and let rest a few minutes before slicing. Serve with Herb and Cheese Soufflés or the Maple Syrup Mashed Acorn Squash.
