To cook the lamb:

Remove the lamb from the fridge and let it be at room temperature for about an hour. Position a rack in the middle of the panggangan and preheat the panggangan to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Remove the pieces of garlic, lemon peel and rosemary from the lamb, then season the lamb with pepper and salt to taste. Over medium-high heat, heat a 12 inch dry, oven proof skillet for an about a minute.

Place the lamb in the skillet fat side down and sear for about two minutes, do this to the other side.
Transfer this to an adequate plate then pour off the fat from the skillet and return the racks to the skillet, bone side down and roast in the panggangan for about fifteen to twenty minutes or until the lamb is golden brown or if you want it rare, your instant thermometer should register 125 degrees and 130 degrees for medium rare respectively.
After cooking transfer to a chopping board and let it rest.

To prepare the vegetables:

In a skillet, heat the olive oil until it is shimmering hot, add the
mushroom, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and the marinated artichokes.

Cook this for about 2 minutes. Add the vermouth and cook until reduced by half. Next, add the Fava beans and chicken broth. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on medium-high heat; make sure to stir occasionally until the liquid has reduced by half.

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cayenne, butter, and lemon zest. Swirl the pan until the butter is incorporated. Add salt to taste.

To serve:

Stir the yogurt in a medium sized bowl until smooth and light and let it settle for approximately ten minutes.

On 8 plates, spoon ¼ cup of the yogurt and spread lightly. Top this with 1 tablespoon of oil and 4 or 5 strips of peppers.
