Northern White Beans In a small saucepan place the rosemary, garlic, and Chablis. Cook the ingredients on medium heat for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced to 2 tablespoons.

Place the lamb racks in a baking pan and roast them for 10 minutes, or until they are medium rare. Turn the lamb so that all sides are evenly browned. Remove the lamb racks from the oven and place them on a warm plate. Let them rest for 5 minutes. Slice the lamb between each bone. On each of 6 individual serving plates place the Northern White Beans. Place the lamb on top.
