Ingredients

  • 2 well-trimmed boneless lamb loins ( 3/4 pound each)
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup raw sunflower seeds (3 1/2 ounces), finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons pure olive oil
  • Lavender Balsamic Vinaigrette

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 400.
  • Season the lamb with salt and pepper and brush lightly with the egg white.
  • On a dinner plate, toss the sunflower seeds with the flour.
  • Roll the lamb loins in the seeds until evenly and thoroughly coated.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet.
  • Add the lamb and cook over moderately high heat, turning with a spatula, until the sunflower seed crust is browned all over, about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer the lamb to a baking sheet and roast for about 7 minutes for medium rare.
  • Carve each loin into 12 slices.
  • Arrange 3 lamb medallions on each of 8 warmed dinner plates.
  • Drizzle some of the Lavender Balsamic Vinaigrette around the lamb and serve at once.
