Celebrity Chef Michael Manner’s Recipe for Food to Complement: Simpatico Wines 2010 Secret Vale Cabernet Sauvignon
Serves 4-6.
Ingredients
Lamb Loin
2 cups Beef Stock
1 Onion finely diced
1 Carrot finely diced
½ Celery Stick finely diced
1 Bay Leaf
Thyme
Rosemary
Olive Oil
Plain Flour
Salt and Pepper
3 Cloves Garlic crushed
6 large Potatoes
500mls Milk
300mls Cream
Green Beans
Unsalted Butter
Sauce
1. Saute onion, carrot and celery in a little olive oil.
2. Add a tbsp flour. Mix well and cook until golden brown.
3. Add beef stock, a little garlic, thyme and bay leaf.
4. Bring to the boil then simmer until reduced to a sauce consistency.
5. Set aside and keep warm.
Potato Gratin
1. Wash and peel the potatoes. Slice on a mandoline or with a sharp knife.
2. Butter an oven dish (gratin dish).
3. Mix sliced potatoes with salt, pepper and crushed garlic.
4. Lay potato slices in the gratin/oven dish.
5. Cover with hot milk and place in a hot oven (approx. 160C – 170C)
6. When milk is absorbed, top with the cream and finish cooking.
7. Keep warm.
8. Cook green beans in salted boiling water until just cooked. Strain, add a little butter and keep warm.
Lamb
1. Season the loin of lamb and brown all over in a little olive oil in a very hot frying pan.
2. Place lamb on an oven tray and finish in the oven (160C) until medium rare.
3. Leave to rest for 5 minutes.
To finish the sauce: Heat the sauce and at the last moment, stir in a tbsp of butter using a bunch of fresh rosemary to do so. This imparts a fresh rosemary flavour.
To Serve
Slice the lamb and arrange attractively on the plate. Spoon a portion of the gratin dauphinois next to the lamb. Place green beans around the gratin dauphinois. Spoon the sauce over the lamb.
