How to cook deliciously - Roasted Rack of Lamb with Figs

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a roasting pan.

2. Stage

Rub lamb with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place meat-side up in the prepared roasting pan.

3. Stage

Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 145 to 160 degrees F (63 to 71 degrees C), 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Cover loosely with foil.

4. Stage

Add 1 cup water to the roasting pan and stir to loosen any pan drippings; strain with a fine sieve to remove liquid and set the pan drippings aside.

5. Stage

Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat; add onion and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in cornstarch until blended. Gradually add wine, broth, pan drippings, figs, remaining salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes.

6. Stage

Sprinkle lamb with walnuts and serve with warm fig sauce.
