Lamb Medallions with Black-Olive Wine Sauce image

Black olive paste gives a rich flavor to the sauce. Longer marination time will help as well.

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic (2 medium cloves)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 loin of lamb (about 2 pounds), boned and trimmed of fat
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/2 cup dry red or white wine
3/4 cup homemade or canned low-sodium chicken stock
2 teaspoons black-olive paste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

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.

This recipe is a keeper! The lamb medallions were tender and juicy, and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I will definitely be making this dish again.

I'm not a fan of lamb, but I thought this dish was surprisingly good. The black olive wine sauce was really flavorful and the lamb was cooked perfectly.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The lamb was a bit tough and the sauce was bland. I wouldn't recommend it.

I found the sauce to be a bit too salty for my taste. Next time, I'll reduce the amount of salt I add.

The lamb medallions were slightly overcooked, but the black olive wine sauce was delicious. I'll try again, cooking the lamb for a shorter amount of time.
