¼ lb. raclette cheese (grated)
¼ lb. fresh mushrooms (sautéed in butter and chopped fine)

For the tomatoes
Cut ten roma tomatoes in half and place in a baking pan. Lightly
sprinkle with kosher or sea salt. Bake at 250° until they appear to be
about half dehydrated. This could take a few hours. When dried,
remove from the oven and chop lightly in a food processor. They
should still be a little chunky, but on their way to being pureed.
For the fond lie
This sauce takes time, but a good shortcut is to use the liquid from the
pot roast in the mac and cheese recipe above. Reduce the liquid over
medium heat until it has reached the desired consistency (should be
thick enough to coat a spoon). Remove the sauce from the heat and
stir in some truffle butter. This can be hard to find. If you have to
substitute, use black truffle oil. Only use a little, it goes a long way.
To serve
Remove from the pan into bowls and top with the oven dried roma
tomatoes and truffled fond lie sauce.
Black Star Farms Old Mission &
Inn at Black Star Farms
Roasted garlic basil oil
12 cloves garlic
4 cups extra virgin olive oil
½ lb. fresh basil cleaned and de-stemmed
Baked Macaroni w/Leelanau Cheese and Lamb Shoulder Confit
Lamb shoulder
1 lamb shoulder roast, netting removed
½ cup kosher salt
¼ cup fresh ground black pepper
5 dried bay leaves, crushed
8 cloves garlic, crushed
6 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
6-8 cups duck fat, lamb fat, lard or extra virgin olive oil
Cure the lamb shoulder
Trim lamb into 4-6 pieces. Rub the meat with salt, pepper and bay
leaves, and place in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for
up to 12 hrs.
Marinate the lamb
Rinse the lamb of the salt mixture and dry well. Place in a clean bowl
with the rest of the mix and incorporate. Cover again and refrigerate
for up to 12 hours.
Confit the lamb
Place lamb in a large enough pot/Dutch oven so there is at least 4
inches of space between the meat and top of the rim. Cover meat with
the chosen fat or olive oil and bring to a temperature that you see just
a few bubbles rising--the key being to cook at a very low temperature
at a slow pace. This can also be done in an oven at around 225°. Cook
the lamb for 8-12 hours, until the meat is soft and almost falling apart
to the touch. Cool the meat on the counter at room temperature.
Refrigerate until ready to use.
Roast garlic on stove top at medium heat until it rises to the top. Pull
off burner, cool to room temperature. Bring 2-3 quarts of water to a
boil, drop basil in for 10-15 seconds. Pour into colander and then ice
bath immediately. Dry basil well by pressing with a kitchen towel
until all moisture is absorbed. Add basil and roasted garlic oil in
blender, puree well. Place oil in refrigerator for 12 hours. Strain the
oil thru cheesecloth and pour into a squeeze bottle.
Macaroni and cheese
½ lb. macaroni
3 tbsp. lamb fat
3 tbsp. flour
½ cup leeks
3 cloves roasted garlic
3 cups milk
6 oz. fromage blanc
6 oz. raclette
2-3 cups lamb confit
¼ cup toasted pine nuts
¼ cup panko
1 tbsp. butter
In a large pot of boiling salted water cook pasta al dente. In a separate
pot warm lamb fat over medium heat and add leeks. Caramelize the
leeks stirring frequently 4 -6 minutes. Whisk in the flour and garlic.
Keep the mixture moving for about 5 minutes to create the roux.
Make sure it’s free of lumps. Whisk in the milk and simmer 8-10
minutes. Incorporate the cheese until melted. Fold in pasta and lamb
confit, season to taste. Pour mixture into buttered casserole dish. Melt
butter in a saucepan and add panko and pine nuts to coat. Top the
macaroni with the panko pine nut crust and bake 30 minutes at 300°.
