Rub the mixture over the rack of lamb and marinate for 48 hours, turning occasionally. Lamb: ===== Remove the lamb from the marinade and drain. Strain the vegetables in the marinade and reserve. In a large roasting pan, brown the lamb bones at 500 F for 15 minutes. Add drained mirepoix (the strained vegetables) from the marinade and brown another five minutes. Strain the contents of the roasting pan to eliminate fat and then transfer the bones and vegetables to a stock pot. Add 6 chopped mushrooms and mint, then deglaze the roasting pan with red wine and add the liquids to the stockpot.
