Elevate lamb with a luscious blueberry-wine reduction featuring balsamic vinegar and butter.
Ingredients:
  • 2 (8 bone) racks of lamb, fully trimmed
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 0.33333334326744 cup sliced shallot
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup dry red wine
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon butter, or more as needed
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) for the perfect cooking temperature.
  • Season the lamb generously with salt and black pepper. Heat oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb on all sides until well browned, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Turn off the heat and transfer the lamb to a platter.
  • Combine the Dijon mustard, rosemary, cinnamon, and cumin in a small bowl. Coat each rack of lamb with a flavorful layer of the mustard mixture.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the shallots with a pinch of salt until golden and softened, about 5 minutes. Add blueberries and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Pour in red wine, then deglaze the pan by stirring the mixture. Turn off the heat.
  • Nestle the racks of lamb in the skillet, intertwining the rib bones to bring the racks closer together, creating a stunning lamb bone "zipper" down the middle. Season generously with a pinch of black pepper.
  • Roast lamb in pre-heated oven until it reaches 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare, approximately 20 minutes.
  • Let the lamb rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes.
  • Drizzle balsamic vinegar into the blueberry sauce and sprinkle a pinch of salt. Simmer over medium-high heat until the sauce reduces by half, approximately 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter. Once butter is melted, taste and add more salt if desired.
  • Cut the racks into 2-rib portions and generously spoon the blueberry sauce over the top before serving.
