 Method
for the racks of lamb:
Preheat oven to 400ºF.
Brush racks of lamb with oil and place them meat-side down in a
heavy, low baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the
bread crumbs, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Turn the racks of lamb over, brush with mustard, and then apply the
crumb mixture with a cupping motion. Drizzle the melted butter over
the crumbs and return to the oven for another 10-12 minutes for
medium-rare. Prepare the Bigelow Plantation Mint Tea Sauce while
waiting for the lamb to cook. Remove the rack of lamb from the
oven, let stand for 3-4 minutes, then slice chops. Serve a generous
spoonful of sauce over each chop.
Method for the sauce:
In a small saucepan, bring beef stock to a boil.
Turn off the heat. Add the teabags and steep for 10 minutes, making
sure they are all submerged. Remove the teabags to a small strainer
and using the back of a spoon, press as much liquid as possible
back into the pan.
Stir in the honey and return to a boil, stirring until the honey is
incorporated.
In a small custard cup, combine the flour and butter into a smooth
paste, using a fork. Just before serving, bring the liquid to a
boil.
Turn off heat, add the butter/flour mixture, bit by bit, and whisk
until it is incorporated and the sauce thickened.
