HONEY-GLAZED RACK OF LAMB

Steps:

• Make red wine sauce:
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and carrot and sauté until deep brown, about 12 minutes. Add beef broth and next 4 ingredients; boil 10 minutes to blend flavors.
• Mix flour and 1 tablespoon butter to paste in bowl. Whisk into sauce. Simmer until sauce thickens, whisking occasionally, about 10 minutes. Strain. Set aside.
• Make lamb:
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Whisk honey, soy sauce and mustard in small bowl to blend; add 2 tablespoons glaze to sauce. Sprinkle lamb with salt and pepper. Place on baking sheet. Brush each rack with some of remaining glaze. Roast until thermometer inserted into center of lamb registers 130°F, brushing often with more glaze, about 35 minutes.

LAMB BROCHETTES

Steps:

• Cut roasting-quality lamb, such as leg or loin, into 1 1/2-inch chunks. You may wish to marinate them for several hours or overnight, as suggested below; otherwise, season and oil the meat. Thread onto skewers, alternating each piece with a square of blanched bacon (see page 60) and a piece of imported bay leaf. Arrange on an oiled broiling pan or in a hinged rack. Broil 2 inches from heat, turning every 2 minutes for several minutes, until the meat is just springy to the touch.
• Here is a basic formula that you may vary as you wish. For every 2 pounds of meat, mix the following in a bowl: 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon ground rosemary, thyme, oregano, or Provençal herbs (see page 44), 2 large cloves puréed garlic, and 1/4 cup vegetable oil.
• Use fresh-tasting, neutral-flavored oils for cooking, such as light olive, canola, or other vegetable oils. Olive oils for flavoring and salads can be mild or fruity, and since they have become a status symbol, you can pay enormous prices for some of those labeled "extra virgin." Test them out yourself to find the brand or brands that suit you.
• "EVOO" is contemporary cook talk for "extra virgin olive oil."

ROAST LEG OF LAMB WITH ROSEMARY
