INSTRUCTIONS
Put sliced lamb in a bowl and add 1/2 cup Thyme Vinaigrette (see
instructions below). Toss well to coat; cover and refrigerate
overnight. 2. Cover beans with water and soak from 2 to 12 hours.
Drain and cover with fresh cold water. Add prosciutto and bring to a
boil over high heat. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook until
beans are tender but not mushy (about 1-1/2 hours). Drain and cool.
Beans may be cooked up to 2 days in advance, covered, and
refrigerated. 3. In a large pot over low heat, heat olive oil. Add
garlic and sage and cook until fragrant. Add beans and tomatoes. Bring
to a simmer and cook 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. If
desired, beans may be cooled and refrigerated overnight. 4. Marinate
onion slices 10 minutes in just enough Thyme Vinaigrette to coat them.
Bring lamb and beans to room temperature. If beans appear somewhat
dry, moisten with Thyme Vinaigrette. Taste and reseason, if necessary.
5. To serve, line a large serving platter with lettuces. Arrange beans
and lamb atop lettuces. Garnish with marinated onion slices. Thyme
Vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, whisk together vinegar, shallot, and
thyme. Add olive oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly.
Season with salt and pepper. Recipe By : The California Culinary
