Loin Of Lamb En Crote With Shallot/balsamic Vinegar Sauc

The wisdom of this world deceptively teaches that believing in the inherent goodness of one’s “self” is foundational to a fulfilled life. However, this erroneous viewpoint overlooks the devastating results of Adam and Eve’s failure to obey God. Scripture teaches that a fulfilled life is not dependent of having a “good self-image” or a “higher self-esteem.” Instead, fulfillment in living depends on your relationship to God and a biblical response to the problem of “self.”

INSTRUCTIONS

For Roasted Shallot Balsamic Vinegar Sauce:  In a medium saucepan
place the beef stock and balsamic vinegar.  Heat them on medium high
for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced to 1/4. While
stirring constantly, add the butter pieces one at a time, and whisk
them in so that they are well incorporated.  Add the roasted  shallots,
salt and pepper. Set aside while you prepare the lamb. Rub  the lamb
loins with the 1 tablespoon of olive oil and garlic clove.  Sprinkle
them with the salt and the pepper. In a heavy skillet place  the 2
tablespoons of olive oil and heat it on medium until it is hot.  Sear
the lamb on both sides. Cut the puff pastry sheet so that it is  the
length of the lamb loin and 2-1/2 times as wide. Place the lamb  in the
center of the sheet.  Top the lamb with the roasted peppers,  feta
cheese, and cooked spinach.  Fold one end of the dough over the  lamb.
Brush the other side of the pastry with the egg wash and then  fold it
over on top of the other pastry end by 2". Cut off the extra  dough and
reserve it.  Crimp the open ends together with your  fingers. Turn the
wrapped lamb over.  Make a braid the length of the  lamb with the
left-over pastry dough. Brush the top of the dough with  the egg wash
and place the braid on top. Preheat the oven to 425Ã¸F.  Bake the
wrapped lamb for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is  golden brown.
Serve the baked lamb with the Roasted Shallot Balsamic  Vinegar Sauce.
