Best 4 Lamb Medallions With Black Olive Wine Sauce Recipes

LAMB MEDALLIONS WITH BLACK-OLIVE WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Pour olive oil into a shallow dish, and distribute half the garlic and one-third of the rosemary in the oil. Slice the lamb across into eight rounds, lightly pound each into a 1/4-inch-thick medallion, and place in oil. Sprinkle the lamb with one-third of the chopped rosemary and the remaining half of garlic; set aside for 20 minutes. (For more intense flavor, marinate several hours or overnight.)
• Pour 2 tablespoons oil-garlic marinade into large skillet; place over medium-high heat. Add medallions; cook until browned on the outside, medium rare inside, about 1 minute on each side. Transfer to a platter, cover with foil to keep warm, and pour off the fat from skillet.
• Add wine and stock; cook, stirring constantly to loosen any cooked-on browned bits. Add remaining third of rosemary and the olive paste, and cook until the liquid has reduced by two-thirds. Swirl in the butter until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Arrange the medallions on a serving platter, pour the sauce over the lamb, and serve immediately.

LAMB MEDALLIONS WITH WHITE-BEAN POTATO PURéE AND RED-WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan combine potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces, with water to cover and boil until tender, about 10 minutes. Add beans and simmer 2 minutes. Drain mixture well, reserving about 1/3 cup cooking water, and force through a ricer or food mill back into pan. Stir in 1/2 tablespoon oil, about one third garlic paste, salt and pepper to taste, and enough reserved cooking water to reach desired consistency and keep warm.
• In a shallow dish dredge lamb medallions in flour, shaking off excess. In a heavy skillet heat remaining tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté lamb about 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare meat. Transfer lamb to a plate and keep warm.
• To skillet add shallot and remaining garlic paste and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Deglaze skillet with wine over high heat, scraping up browned bits, and boil until reduced by about half. Stir in mustard, broth, and cream and simmer until thickened. Stir in parsley.
• Divide purée between 2 plates and top with lamb and sauce.
