Note
The recipe calls for "And 4 T-bones of lamb" in the ingredients, but the directions refer to "Racks" and "T-bones". Ensure you use lamb racks or chops suitable for roasting and searing.
If fresh cranberry beans are unavailable, dried cranberry beans can be used. Soak dried beans overnight and simmer until tender, which may take longer than fresh beans.
Mesquite wood chips provide a distinct smoky flavor. If mesquite is not available, hickory or oak can be substituted for the grilling process.
Sweating the grilled peppers and chiles in a sealed container helps loosen the skins for easy peeling. You can also place them in a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap if a container with a lid is not available.
Adjust the cooking time for the lamb based on your desired doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135ðF.
The bean juices should be reserved before discarding the aromatics. If the liquid is too thin, simmer it down to concentrate the flavor before using it to deglaze the pan.
