Ingredients

  • 200 g lamb back ribs (about 4 ribs; ready to cook)
  • Salt
  • black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 bunch rosemary
  • 1 bunch sage
  • 0.5 bunch Basil
  • 2 Garlic cloves
  • 500 g white beans (canned)
  • 1 bunch spring onions
  • 250 ml vegetable broth
  • 50 ml dry white wine
  • 1 tbsp White Wine Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Sichuan peppercorns
  • 50 ml cognac

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Preheat the oven to 180°C with upper and lower heat. Wash the lamb ribs, pat them dry, season with salt and pepper, and sear all sides in 1 tbsp olive oil until browned. Rinse and shake off the herbs. Wrap the lamb loosely with the herbs and a pressed garlic clove in foil and bake for about 10–12 minutes to medium-rare. Drain the beans.

  2. 2.

    Wash and trim the spring onions, slice them diagonally, and sauté in 1 tbsp olive oil. Deglaze with vegetable broth and white wine, bring to a boil, then add the beans. Season with salt, mix in white wine vinegar and olive oil, and let it rest to absorb flavors.

  3. 3.

    Remove the lamb from foil, slice diagonally, and arrange on top of the bean salad. In a small pan or skillet without added fat, lightly toast the Sichuan peppercorns for about 1 minute. Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly, then carefully pour cognac over the pepper and ignite. Swirl the pan once and distribute the flambéed pepper over the lamb.
