Medallion of Victorian Lamb Wrapped in Sambal Olek, Baked Eggplant and Rice Paper
Ingredients:

500 gm Victorian Lamb Loin, Chilled
¼ Teaspoon Salt
¼ Teaspoon Peppercorn, Black, Freshly Grounded
10 ml Peanut Oil
2 Eggplants
2 Tablespoons Sambal Olek
1 Clove Garlic
2 Pieces Rice Paper
800 gm Kumera

Spiced Tamarind Jus
1 Onion
2 Cloves Garlic
1 Tablespoon Meat Curry Powder
20 ml Red Wine
1 Tablespoon Oyster Sauce
1 Red Chilli
2 Lemongrass Sticks
80 gm Tamarind Paste
¼ Teaspoon Black Peppercorns
10 ml Prestige Fonds de Agneau
60 gm Unsalted Butter

Method:

Season the lamb with salt and pepper and rub with Sambal Olek. Quick sear the marinated lamb loin at medium heat until evenly brown and leave aside to cool. Bake the sliced eggplant with chopped garlic and Sambal Olek paste and drizzle with some peanut oil. Bake in a preheated oven at 180ºC for 5 to 7 minutes until just cooked. When cooled, wrap the lamb loin with the Sambal eggplant and Vietnamese rice paper. Pan fry the wrapped medallion of lamb until golden brown on all sides and roast in a preheated oven at 180ºC for 5 minutes or until your desired doneness. Leave to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing them into 4 portions.

Sweat onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes without browning; add lemongrass, black peppercorn and curry powder. Strain the sauce and deglace with red wine, add the rest of the ingredients and simmer until syrupy in consistency. Monte with butter to give the sauce a shine.

Heap a spoonful of mashed Kumera in the centre of each plate and arrange 3 slices of lamb loin neatly and garnish with sweet potato chips and Thai fine asparagus. Spoon some sauce around the plate and serve hot.
