Ingredients
- 500 g lamb loin fillet (boneless)
- salt
- pepper (from the mill)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 250 ml meat broth
- 4 quinces (approx. 600 g)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 onion
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 cardamom pods
- 1 star anise
- 1 piece cinnamon stick
- 2 tbsp chopped pistachios
Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 140 degrees Celsius. Set the heating mode to top and bottom heat.
- 2. Rinse the lamb meat briefly under running water. Pat it completely dry with kitchen paper. Season the meat generously with salt and pepper.
- 3. Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan. Sear the lamb on all sides until it has a brown crust.
- 4. Place the seared meat on a wire rack. Place a drip pan directly underneath it. Slide the rack into the preheated oven.
- 5. Cook the lamb in the oven for about 30 minutes. The meat should remain pink and tender inside.
- 6. Take the pan with the pan juices off the stove. Deglaze the pan with a splash of broth. Let the liquid reduce almost completely.
- 7. Wash the quinces thoroughly. Peel the fruits completely. Cut them into quarters and remove the core.
- 8. Cut the quince pieces into bite-sized pieces. Drizzle them immediately with lemon juice so they do not turn brown.
- 9. Peel the onion. Cut it into very small cubes.
- 10. Heat the remaining hot oil in a pan. Sauté the onion cubes until translucent, soft, and lightly golden brown.
- 11. Deglaze the onions with a splash of broth. Add the quince pieces, a spoonful of honey, cardamom, star anise, and cinnamon.
- 12. Simmer the quince mixture over low heat for about 15 minutes. The fruits should become soft. Add a little more broth if necessary.
- 13. Strain the quinces through a fine sieve. Remove the whole spices (cardamom, star anise, cinnamon sticks) and set them aside.
- 14. Roast the pistachios in a dry pan briefly until fragrant. Make sure they do not burn.
- 15. Add the reduced pan juices and the drained quinces to the pan. Stir in the remaining honey.
- 16. Add a little broth to keep the sauce creamy. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- 17. Take the lamb out of the oven. Let it rest for a few minutes so the juices can distribute.
- 18. Slice the lamb meat into thin slices. Arrange the meat slices on top of the spiced quince mixture. Sprinkle the roasted pistachios over it. Serve the dish warm.
