In this rack of lamb recipe, we're actually roasting the meat over the sauce. And not just any sauce: we spiked this beurre rouge (red wine butter sauce) with fresh blueberries, and the small, dark fruit performed beautifully.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Season lamb generously with salt and black pepper. Heat oil over medium-high heat in an oven-proof skillet. Sear lamb on all sides until well browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Turn off heat. Remove lamb to a platter.
- Mix together Dijon mustard, rosemary, cinnamon, and cumin in a small bowl. Spread a thin layer of the mustard mixture on each rack of lamb.
- Place chopped shallots and pinch of salt into the same skillet. Cook and stir over medium-heat until shallots begin to lose moisture and become browned and soft, about 5 minutes. Add blueberries and continue cooking for about 2 minutes. Stir in red wine, turn off heat, and stir mixture to deglaze the pan.
- Place the racks of lamb into the skillet and interlace the rib bones together to push the lamb racks close together, leaving a lamb bone "zipper" in the center. Place the lamb racks into the center of the skillet. Season with a pinch of black pepper.
- Place skillet in pre-heated oven and roast lamb until internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F (52 degrees C) for medium-rare, about 20 minutes.
- Remove lamb to a cutting board to rest about 5 minutes.
- Drizzle balsamic vinegar into the blueberry sauce; add a pinch of salt. Turn heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer to reduce sauce by half, about 4 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in butter. When butter is melted, check seasonings and add more salt if needed.
- Slice racks into pieces of 2 ribs each. Serve topped with a spoonful of the blueberry sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat the grill over medium-high heat and the oven to 275 degrees F.
- For the eggplant puree: Place the Japanese eggplant slices into a perforated hotel pan over a solid hotel pan or on a rack set over a sheet pan and season with salt. Season the Italian eggplant flesh with salt and place into the hotel pan or on the rack with the Japanese eggplant slices, let sit about 5 minutes.
- Place the eggplant into a bowl and add a drizzle of the extra-virgin olive oil, rosemary leaves, and thyme leaves. Place the whole eggplant onto the hottest part of the grill, flesh-side down. Cover with metal bowl and cook, about 5 to 6 minutes. Place the Japanese eggplant slices onto the cooler part of the grill and cook for about 2 to 4 minutes per side. Both the Japanese and Italian eggplants should be done at the same time.
- Remove the charred flesh of the Italian eggplant and discard the skins. Add the flesh and seeds to a blender. Drizzle in about 1/2-cup extra-virgin olive oil, juice of 1 orange, and salt, to taste. Taste and re-season, if needed.
- For the lamb: Season the lamb loins with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. Place a saute pan over medium-high heat and add the oil. Once heated, add the lamb to the pan and sear until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and continue to sear on the other side, another minute. Add the butter, remaining rosemary sprig and thyme sprig and allow the butter to melt. Baste the lamb with the melted butter and place into the oven. Roast the lamb for about 10 minutes, or until the lamb is medium-rare to medium, about 125 to 130 degrees F.
- When the lamb is done, remove the lamb from the oven and set aside briefly to rest prior to slicing. (2 servings)
- For the sweet and sour relish: To a small saucepan over medium heat add 2 cups white wine and 1 cup golden raisins.
- To a high-sided saute pan over medium heat, add 2 to 3 tablespoons blended oil. Once heated, add the shallots and season with salt, to taste. Next, add the garlic and stir to combine. Once fragrant, add the diced eggplant and season again with salt. Add the pine nuts, capers, the juice of 2 oranges, and about 1/2 cup sherry vinegar. Once the flames stops, add the raisins and wine and stir to combine. To a small saute pan, add about 1 tablespoon cumin seeds and place over low heat to toast. Once toasted add the cumin seeds and about 2 tablespoons sugar. Allow the eggplant to cook down and simmer for about 4 to 5 minutes.
- For plating: To a medium bowl add the arugula, sliced chile and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Toss to combine.
- For each serving, spoon some of the smoky eggplant puree onto a plate. Slice half the tenderloin into 1/2-inch rounds and plate in between the grilled Japanese slices. Top with some of the sweet and sour eggplant relish and the micro arugula salad. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.

Steps:
- In the container of a blender or large food processor, combine the vegetable broth, raspberries, raspberry jam, and red wine vinegar. Puree until smooth. Pour into a large bowl, and set aside.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the leg of lamb quickly on all sides, and remove from the pan. Pierce the meat every inch or so with the tines of a fork. Place into a bowl with the raspberry sauce. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 12 hours to marinate. Turn occasionally.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove the lamb from the marinade and pat dry. Place on a roasting rack in a roasting pan.
- Roast the lamb for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the meat reads 140 degrees F (62 degrees C). Allow to stand for 10 to 15 minutes before carving. The temperature should go up by another 5 to 10 degrees while it rests for medium rare. If you like it more done, wait until it reaches 145 degrees F before removing from the oven.
- While the lamb is roasting, transfer the marinade to a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and add the rosemary. Boil over medium-high heat until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. Carve the lamb, and spoon sauce over it to serve.

ROASTED LAMB LOIN WITH SAVORY BERRY SAUCE
Steps:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the raspberries, blueberries, chopped onion, the diced celery, tomato, sugar, and vinegar; season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer for about 30 minutes until the sauce is thick. While the sauce cooks, season the lamb by rubbing it with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the thyme and marjoram sprigs, and allow them to perfume the oil for about 1 minute. Remove the herbs and add the lamb. Brown the lamb on all sides, turning it gently with tongs. (Avoid using a fork; the tines may puncture the meat, allowing the flavorful juice to leak out.) You want the lamb to remain pink inside. Spread the berry sauce on a large serving plate. Slice the lamb into 1-inch pieces and arrange them on top of the berry sauce. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of lamb: A loin roast is a good choice for roasting because it is tender and flavorful. You can also use a leg of lamb or a shoulder roast.
- Season the lamb well: A simple rub of salt, pepper, and garlic powder will do the trick. You can also add other spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano.
- Sear the lamb before roasting: This will help to create a flavorful crust and keep the lamb moist. You can sear the lamb in a skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side.
- Roast the lamb at a low temperature: This will help to prevent the lamb from becoming dry. Roast the lamb at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the lamb rest before carving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat. Let the lamb rest for about 10 minutes before carving.
- Serve the lamb with a flavorful sauce: A berry sauce is a great option because it is sweet and tart and complements the lamb well.
Conclusion:
Roasted lamb loin with savory berry sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The lamb is tender and flavorful, and the berry sauce is the perfect complement. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
