Method

Preheat oven to 450F. Brush lamb with 1 tbls olive oil and press rosemary and marjoram onto each rack. Heat 1 tbls oil in large skillet over high heat; brown one rack on all sides, about 5 minutes. Repeat with second rack. Remove to roasting pan, meaty side up. Roast until meat thermometer registers 130 for medium rare, about 16 minutes. Remove and let stand 15 minutes. For sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat cook shallots in butter for 3 minutes. Add tomato paste and broth; cook 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and jelly; cook 7 minutes. Slice racks into individual chops and place on 4 individual plates; serve with sauce.

 

Notes: If fresh porcini are not available, use 2 ozs dried, soaked in 1/2 cup of hot beef broth for 15 min.
