  • Add olives, and adjust seasoning.
Quick Sauce for Lamb:
  • Within 30 to 45 minutes, this procedure can yield a sauce with the same intense flavor, same viscosity and same rich color as restaurants produce.
  • Heat an Oster® Electric Skillet to medium heat with enough canola oil to coat the bottom.
  • Add bones to hot oil and roast until well browned on all sides.
  • Discard any oil that has accumulated in the skillet in excess of that amount of oil used at the start. Add to this enough water to cover bones by half.
  • Reduce heat and simmer until all liquid has evaporated. Repeat this step using a natural chicken or vegetable stock.
  • Once second reduction is complete and bones begin to roast, add other flavoring components desired, such as mirepoix, tomatoes, or herbs (chop fine for maximum flavor extraction).
  • Continue to roast until vegetables are caramelized.
  • At this point, add three times as much liquid as the volume of bones. The liquid is cook's choice: water, stock and half water, or perhaps a small amount of sauce left from previous recipe.
  • Reduce volume by half.
  • Strain twice, once through a coarse strainer and then through a fine-mesh strainer (chinois).
  • Reduce a little more if desired.
  • Finish sauce by adding a little butter or extra-virgin olive oil.
Eggplant Caviar:
  • Wash eggplants.
  • Puncture skin and rub each eggplant with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Bake in 375-degree oven until tender.
  • Remove from oven, cut open, and scrape out meat.
  • Put meat in a piece of cheesecloth and wring out excess moisture. Then place meat in an Oster® food processor.
  • Add mustard.
  • Blend while adding olive oil.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
Basil-Infused Extra-Virgin Olive Oil:
  • Bring a 4- or 5-quart saucepan of water to a full boil.
  • Add kosher salt.
  • Add basil and blanch for 45 seconds.
  • Drain in a basket strainer and cool under running water.
  • Squeeze excess water from basil leaves and place them in an Oster® blender container with olive oil.
  • Begin blending at low speed to break up leaves.
  • Once basil begins to blend freely, turn to high speed and continue blending for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Place in a glass storage container and refrigerate overnight in order to create an intensely flavored and richly colored oil.
  • Secure cheesecloth around the rim of a shallow wide-mouthed container.
  • Pour in oil and allow to strain. This will take up to an hour, depending on temperature of oil.
  • After oil has strained, gently wring cheesecloth for maximum extraction. The remaining basil pulp can be used for pesto, as a marinade for chicken, in sauces, or on pasta.
  • Basil-infused extra-virgin olive oil has a refrigerated shelf life of 3 to 4 weeks.
To Serve:
  • Place 1 tablespoon of eggplant caviar in center of plate.
  • Top with lamb medallion, and spoon olive sauce on top.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and basil-infused olive oil.
