STUFFED LEG OF LAMB WITH BALSAMIC-FIG-BASIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

LAMB WITH BALSAMIC WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove the leaves from the rosemay sprigs. Remove the skin from the garlic. Crush both with the salt and pepper. When all has been crushed almost to a paste, push this paste into each side of each lamb chop. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to let the seasonings set in. Preheat the oven to 200. Have ready a large skillet, with lid, that can hold all the lamb and is able to go into the oven. Have ready a large serving platter that can hold all the chops. Heat the pan and add the olive oil. Put in the chops and sear them on both sides, about 3 minutes each. Put the pan in the oven, covered for about 10 minutes. Check that the meat is cooked to at least 125 degrees for rare. Remove the pan from the oven and put the chops on the serving platter. Cover to keep warm. If there is a lot of liquid in the pan, pour most of it off. Return the pan to the stove and add the shallots. Saute until they are translucent, then deglaze the pan with the red wine, scraping the bottom to get all the good bits up. Add the balsamic vinegar and let that cook down to about half. Add the butter and whisk it in, the sauce will thicken and take on a shiney appearance. Dip and roll each chop in the sauce and return it to the platter. Pour the remaining sauce over the chops. Garnish with parsley and sprigs of rosemary if desired.
