Rosemary Roasted Leg of Lamb with White Beans and Caper Sauce Chef George McNeill
Ingredients:
4.5 lb leg of lamb 2025 g (deboned)
8 oz white beans 220 g (fully cooked)
1 oz parsley (chopped) 28 g
3 cloves garlic (puree)
2 oz Sbrinz cheese 55 g
2 oz herbed croutons 55 g
3 oz St. Andre cheese 85 g
salt and cracked pepper to taste
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 oz white bread crumbs 55 g
1 oz vegetable oil
1 oz capers 30 g
4 oz tomato concasse 115 g
1 oz butter 30 gr
1 cup white wine 240 ml
2 cups brown lamb stock 480 ml
Preparation:
1.
In a bowl, beat the St. Andre cheese until a smooth paste is formed. Combine
the beans, croutons, parsley (reserve a small quantity for sauce) and 3/4
of the garlic puree and mix well.
2. Add the white
bread crumbs to form a stiff mix. Open up the cavity left from removing the
thigh bone and fill with the mix, using string to seal the open end.
3. Very carefully,
score the lamb leg with remaining garlic.
4. Stud the lamb
with the rosemary sprigs and sear the lamb leg in vegetable oil.
5. Roast
in 350°F (177°C) oven until desired doneness is reached. Remove from
oven and allow to stand. Place the roasting pan on the open flame and deglaze
with white wine being sure to release all the sediments.
6. Add the brown
lamb stock that was made from the thigh bone and trimmings. Bring to a boil
and reduce.
7. To finish the sauce add capers, tomato concasse and chopped parsley and
monter with butter. Slice the lamb, serve with pan fried eggplant and napper
with the sauce.
