      Title: Rack Of Lamb W/Swiss Chard
 Categories: Lamb/mutton, Greens, Wine
      Yield: 8 servings
 
MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
    1/2 c  Sweet (red) vermouth
    1/2 c  Golden raisins
      1 md Onion; chopped
      2 tb Extra-virgin olive oil
      2 lg Bunches green Swiss chard (1
        lb Total), stems and center
           Ribs reserved for another
           Use and leaves coarsely
           Chopped
      2 tb Pine nuts; toasted

MMMMM----------------------------LAMB---------------------------------
      4    (8-rib) frenched racks of
           Lamb (each about 1 1/2
           Pound), trimmed of all but a
           Thin layer of fat
    1/2 c  Dijon mustard
      2 ts Fine chopped thyme
      1 ts Fine chopped rosemary
 
  Equipment: kitchen string
  Accompaniment: roasted red peppers
  
  Your subconscious will register "early spring" with this
  combination of double-thick lamb chops and earthy, grassy
  Swiss chard. Perfect for Easter dinner, the dish is heightened
  by the tang of Dijon mustard and the subtle sweetness of plump
  golden raisins.
  
  Make swiss chard stuffing:
  
  Bring vermouth and raisins to a boil in a small saucepan,
  then remove from heat and let steep until raisins are soft
  and plump, about 15 minutes.
  
  Cook onion in oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-low
  heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender but not
  browned, 5 to 8 minutes.
  
  Add chard, raisins with any remaining vermouth, 1/2 teaspoon
  salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium heat,
  turning chard constantly with tongs, until chard is tender
  and liquid has evaporated, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a
  bowl and stir in nuts, then cool.
  
  Prepare lamb:
  
  Cutting as close to bones as possible, make 1 long incision
  to separate meat of each rack from bones, stopping 1/2 inch
  from bottom (do not cut all the way through).
  
  Roll meat away from bones to create a long opening, then
  season inside with salt and pepper and fill with stuffing.
  Roll meat back over stuffing, then tie meat to bones with
  string (between every 2 ribs).
  
  Preheat oven to 400øF with rack in middle.
  
  Stir together mustard, thyme, and rosemary and spread over
  both sides of each rack. Put racks of lamb in a large shallow
  heavy baking pan, pairing racks so that they stand up with
  their bones interlocking but leaving space between them at
  base.
  
  Roast lamb until an instant-read thermometer inserted into
  center of meat (do not touch bone) registers 130øF for med-
  rare, 25 to 35 minutes. Let stand, loosely covered, 15 min.
  
  Cut each rack into 4 double chops, discarding string, and
  serve on top of roasted red peppers.
  
  Cooks' note: Stuffing can be made 1 day ahead and chilled,
  covered.
