Lamb Loin T Bone Rolled With Herb Sweetbread Stuffing Served With Warm Salad Of Olives And Smoked Tomatoes

Recipe by Tony Smith, Head Chef at Boomrock Lodge

Serves 6

Lamb Loin ‘T' Bone
2 chilled Gourmet Direct Lamb Bone in Shortloin
500 g Gourmet Direct Lamb Sweetbreads
Juice & zest of one lemon
NZ flaky sea salt
100 g shallots, finely diced - sauté without colour
¼ cup chopped fresh herbs eg. parsley, sage, thyme
¾ cup fresh white breadcrumbs
2 egg yolks
50 g Telegraph Hill lemon & herb olives, pitted & chopped

Cut halfway through each joint in rack (to ease carving when serving) and remove the full rib bone. Remove the skin by easing it off with knife and pulling gently. This is best done when the lamb is very cold. Carefully cut a flap on outside of loin eye, leaving the meat attached to the bones by 1cm. Score the lamb diagonally and prick well with a sharp knife to allow the fat to render out during cooking. Preheat oven to 160°C.

Herb Sweetbread Stuffing
Cover the sweetbreads with cold water in a pan, and add a squeeze of lemon juice and 2 teaspoons of salt. Bring to a simmer. Turn off and let stand for 10 minutes then refresh under cold water and drain. Place half of the sweetbreads into a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add shallot, herbs, breadcrumbs, zest, egg yolks and pulse to mix. Dice the remaining sweetbreads, add to food processor along with the olives. Season and pulse briefly to combine.

Spread the stuffing over the inside of the flap and season. Roll the stuffed lamb against the loin and tie along the rack to hold. Place the rolled and stuffed lamb ‘T' bone in medium hot pan, flap side down, and cook for five minutes until well browned. Remove from the heat and place in 160°C oven and cook for 35-40 minutes. Remove the lamb from oven, cover with a tea towel, and let rest for 10 minutes.

Roasted Red Potatoes with Red Onions and Sage
