Flavors of Switzerland
Total time: 1hr to 2hr
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Oven temperature: 160° C (300° F)
Cooking time: Under an hour
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
For 4 servings
- 1 saddle of lamb, trimmed, about 800 g (1 lb. 12 oz.)
- 2 tsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 2 shallots
- Garlic
- 2-3 sprigs of mountain thyme
- 150 g (5 oz.) lamb bones and trimmings, crushed
- 2 bay leaves
- 4 tbsp. low-salt soy sauce
- 100 ml (6 tbsp.) chicken consommé
- 4 white mushrooms
Method
- Season the saddle of lamb. Brown it in olive oil in a roasting pan in a preheated 160° C (300° F) oven for 20 to 25 minutes - the meat should remain pink in the centre. Let rest in a warm place.
- Brown the lamb bones and trimmings in a little olive oil in a saucepan. Then add the finely chopped shallots, the clove of garlic (unpeeled and crushed), the sliced mushrooms, the thyme and bay leaves.
- Deglaze with the soy sauce. Cover with the chicken stock and let reduce slowly, skimming the surface regularly, until a good consistency is achieved. Strain, correct the seasoning with salt and pepper and thicken as desired by whisking in some butter or olive oil.
- Slice the meat. Place the slices of lamb on plates, garnish with the sauce and a bouquet of vegetables of your choice.
