Don't be intimidated by the mushroom crust-it's easy to whirl dried porcini mushrooms in your coffee grinder. You can substitute a 12-ounce beef tenderloin or pork tenderloin for the lamb. Ingredients:
3/4 cup (1/2-inch) diagonally sliced canned hearts of palm (about 4) |
1/3 cup vertically sliced red onion |
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil |
1 1/2 tablespoons sherry vinegar |
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper |
9 teardrop or round cherry tomatoes, halved |
1 large garlic clove, minced |
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
3 large eggs |
3 cups cooked angel hair (about 6 ounces uncooked pasta) |
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided |
1 (0.35-ounce) package dried porcini mushrooms |
1 tablespoon minced fresh or 1 teaspoon dried rubbed sage |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper |
1 (12-ounce) boned lamb loin |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. To prepare salad, combine first 9 ingredients in a bowl; toss gently to coat. Set aside.
3. To prepare pancakes, combine parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and eggs in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add pasta; toss well to coat. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup pasta mixture; cook 1 minute on each side or until golden brown. Repeat procedure twice with 2 teaspoons oil and remaining pasta mixture; keep warm.
4. To prepare the lamb, place mushrooms in a spice or coffee grinder, and process until finely ground. Combine 1 tablespoon ground mushrooms, sage, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, reserving the remaining ground mushrooms for another use. Rub lamb with mushroom mixture. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add lamb; sauté 1 minute on all sides. Insert meat thermometer into thickest part of lamb. Wrap handle of skillet with foil; place skillet in oven. Bake at 400° for 8 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 145° (medium-rare) to 160° (medium). Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
5. Place 1 pancake on each of 3 serving plates; top each pancake with 3/4 cup salad. Arrange 3 ounces lamb around each salad.
