Ingredients:

 

600g

saddle of lamb, de-boned

   
 
Shitake Mushrooms

200g

shitake mushrooms

1

medium shallot, finely chopped

50g

chicken mousse

25g

fresh parsley, chopped

200ml

plain yoghurt

 

salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste

10ml

Pommery mustard

1

bunch chives, chopped

200ml

brown lamb stock, reduced

   
 

Mixed Vegetables

300g

mixed vegetables, peeled & sliced (carrots,

 

red onions, leeks, red and yellow peppers)

15ml

olive oil

   

Method
Skin and trim the lamb, then divide into 4 portions (150g each).

Shitake Mushrooms
Sauté the mushrooms with the shallots.  Reserve until chilled, then mix in with the chicken mousse and adjust seasoning.  Place the mixture in a piping bag.

Insert a knife lengthwise through the center of the meat to make a cavity and then pipe the mixture inside.  Then marinate the meat in the yoghurt for at least 12 hours, after which you can remove from marinade and wipe off excess yoghurt.  

Season the lamb with salt and pepper, and sear on each side.  Then transfer to an oven and bake in medium heat for about 3 – 5 minutes until pink.  Remove from oven and rest for 10-15 minutes, then brush mustard over the lamb and coat with chopped chives.

Mixed Vegetables
Stir-fry the vegetables in olive oil for a few minutes.  Season well and divide into four portions. 

Assembly
Spoon over a little of the brown sauce on the plate and place the lamb on top (if necessary finish the lamb in the oven).
