Lamb
Demiglace Ingredients:
1 quart lamb or beef stock, unsalted
1 cup Red Wine
2 tbls. Butter (unsalted)
Procedures:
1. For the mousse, place artichokes
in salted water and simmer until tender, approximately
20 minutes. Drain and let them cool for approximately
10 minutes. Put in food processor with remaining
mousse ingredients and puree until smooth.
2.
For the sauté, cook the baby artichokes
in salted water with lemon juice. Simmer for
approximately 10 minutes or until tender but
relatively firm. Drain and cool. 10 minutes
before serving lamb, slice the artichokes in
half lengthwise. Heat the olive oil and place
the artichokes in the pan and sauté until
they begin to brown. Add the garlic, olives
and peppers, drop heat to low, season with salt
and pepper and warm the mixture through.
3.
For the lamb demiglace, simmer stock and wine
until sauce has reduced by about 2/3, or until
it coats the back of a spoon. Turn off heat.
Just before serving, warm the sauce and stir
in butter completely. Season to taste with salt
and pepper.
4.
To prepare lamb, using a spoon or butter knife,
coat the lamb evenly with a thin layer of mousse.
Place on a roasting pan and bake in a pre-heated
450 degree oven for approximately 9 minutes,
for medium rar.
5.
Let lamb rest 4-5 minutes, then place a large
spoonful of the sauté in the middle of
a plate, arrange the lamb over the sauté
and spoon sauce around.
