Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 120°C.
  • Place ciabatta, lemon rind, capers, anchovies, onions, and olives on a baking sheet and dry in the oven for two hours.
  • Blitz the dried mixture with parsley and basil in a food processor to form fine breadcrumbs.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 180°C.
  • Season the lamb racks with salt and pepper.
  • Sear the lamb racks in olive oil in a hot frying pan until browned on all sides.
  • Coat the lamb racks with mustard and roll them in the herb breadcrumbs.
  • Bake the lamb in an ovenproof dish for 12 to 14 minutes and let it rest.
  • Sauté the sliced leeks in butter for 5 minutes until softened.
  • Stir in the borlotti beans and cook for 3 minutes.
  • Add parsley and season the leek and bean mixture.
  • Boil the red wine in a pan to reduce by half, then add chicken stock and reduce by half again.
  • Whisk in the butter and season the sauce.
  • Serve the sliced lamb over mashed potatoes and leeks with the red wine sauce.
