Rack of Lamb

Goat Cheese Croquettes

Beet Mousse

Mint Caviar

Natural Pan Jus

Method

Preparation of Rack of Lamb

  1. 1

    Season the Lamb

    Rub the rack of lamb with olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sear the Lamb

    In a hot skillet, sear the rack of lamb on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to the oven to roast at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes for medium-rare. Let it rest before slicing.

Preparation of Goat Cheese Croquettes

  1. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine softened goat cheese, mashed potatoes, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Form into small balls.

  2. 4

    Coat and Fry

    Dredge each ball in flour, dip in beaten egg, and roll in breadcrumbs. Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the croquettes until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Preparation of Beet Mousse

  1. 5

    Blend Beets

    In a blender, puree the cooked beets until smooth. In a separate bowl, dissolve gelatin in warm water and add to the beet puree along with heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Blend until combined.

  2. 6

    Set the Mousse

    Pour the mixture into molds and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

Preparation of Mint Caviar

  1. 7

    Prepare Mint Mixture

    In a small bowl, combine chopped mint leaves, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt to taste. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to meld the flavors.

Preparation of Natural Pan Jus

  1. 8

    Make the Jus

    After removing the lamb from the pan, deglaze with red wine, scraping up browned bits. Add beef or lamb stock and reduce by half. Whisk in butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.
