Lamb with Quick Cherry Basil Sauce

Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 3 tablespoons
Coarse Salt - ¾ teaspoon
Ground Black Pepper - ½ teaspoon
Lamb Shoulder - 8 pieces
Butter - 1 tablespoon
Olive Oil - 1 tablespoon
Unsweetened cherry juice - 1 cup
Spanish onions - 1 head
Marinated cherries - 7.1 oz
Fresh basil leaves - 0.3 cup

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 248°F.

Step 2

In a large plate, mix the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the meat in the mixture, shaking off the excess. Heat a skillet with butter and olive oil over medium heat and add the meat. Sear for about 3 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while preparing the sauce.

Step 3

In the same skillet with the oil, add finely chopped onion and sauté for 2 minutes. Pour in the cherry juice and bring to a boil. Cook for about 4 minutes until the sauce slightly reduces and the onion becomes soft. Then add the cherries and half of the basil and cook for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
