Stuffed Leg of Lamb with Balsamic-Fig-Basil Sauce



Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped prunes
  • 1/4 cup currants
  • 2 tablespoons creme de cassis liqueur
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 (4 pound) boneless leg of lamb, rolled and tied
  • 1/2 cup chopped roasted and salted almonds
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
  • 3 cloves garlic, cut into thirds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced, stemmed Calimyrna figs
  • 5 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
  • 6 leaves mint
  • 6 leaves basil

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Combine the chopped prunes and currants with the creme de cassis in a small bowl, and set aside. In another small bowl, combine the rosemary, thyme, coriander, salt, and pepper; set aside.
  3. Untie and unroll the lamb, lay it out flat on the work surface. Trim off excess fat, and cut any thick parts open so that it is evenly thick and somewhat rectangular in shape. Sprinkle half of the herb mixture over the lamb. Mix the almonds and chopped mint into the prune mixture; spread evenly over the lamb. Roll up starting at one of the short sides, and tie with kitchen twine in 1-inch intervals. Cut 9 slits about 1-inch deep into the top of the lamb, and insert a slice of garlic in each. Rub with olive oil, and sprinkle with the remaining herb mixture.
  4. Place lamb seam-side up on a rack set in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven to desired doneness. For medium-rare, a thermometer inserted into the center will read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Remove lamb from the oven and cover with foil. Allow to rest for 15 minutes while proceeding with the recipe.
  5. While the lamb is resting, bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Boil until the vinegar has reduced by half, 4 to 5 minutes. Once reduced, stir in the butter, honey, and sliced figs. Stir until the butter has melted, then remove from the heat, stir in the chopped basil and set aside.
  6. To serve, remove the twine from the lamb and cut into 1/2 inch thick slices. Arrange on a warm serving platter and drizzle with the fig sauce, garnish with mint and basil leaves.

Pan-Seared Duck Breast with Blueberry Sauce


Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons dried thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon crushed dried rosemary
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 potatoes, cubed
  • 2 pints fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup apple juice
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
  • 3 slices pancetta or bacon, cut into thin strips
  • 6 shallots, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms
  • 2 pounds bok choy, sliced
  • 4 (8 ounce) boneless duck breast halves
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a small bowl mix together the salt, ground black pepper, thyme, and rosemary; set aside. This will be your spice blend for seasoning the roasted potatoes and the duck breasts.
  2. Place cubed potatoes into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of your spice blend over the top of the potatoes. Toss the potatoes in the pan until they are evenly coated with oil and seasonings. Spread into a single layer across the bottom of the baking dish and bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven.
  3. While the potatoes are roasting, stir together the blueberries, water, apple juice, sugar, and jalapeno in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, and simmer until the mixture has reduced to the consistency of syrup, about 10 minutes.
  4. Cook the pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the pancetta to drain on a paper towel, leaving the drippings in the skillet. Add the shallots and the mushrooms to the hot skillet; stir and cook them until soft and just beginning to brown. Remove the shallots and mushrooms and set aside. Increase heat to medium-high and place the bok choy in the hot skillet. Stir and cook the bok choy until the leaves are wilted and the white stalk pieces are tender, about 5 minutes. Return the shallots, mushrooms, and pancetta to the skillet, turn off the heat and set aside.
  5. Rinse the duck breast halves and pat dry. Rub the remaining spice blend onto both sides of the duck breasts. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat, when the pan is hot put in the vegetable oil and butter. Immediately place the duck breasts in the pan, skin and fat side down. Do not move the duck breasts until the skin is deep brown, about 5 minutes. Turn the breasts and cook until the internal temperature of the thickest part is 160 degrees F (71 degrees C) for well done. Remove the duck from the pan and place on a plate, covered with foil to rest for 5 minutes. While the duck is resting, place the skillet with the bok choy mixture onto a burner over medium heat to warm through.
  6. Slice each duck breast diagonally into 1/2 inch strips. Divide the bok choy mixture among four plates and drizzle each serving with 1/2 tablespoon of aged balsamic vinegar. Arrange the sliced duck breasts on top of the bok choy mixture; ladle on blueberry sauce. Serve with oven-roasted potatoes on the side.
