Yields2 Servings
 1 tbsp Olive oil
 2 Shallots, finely chopped
 2 Garlic, minced
 1.50 cups Chopped mushrooms
 1 tsp Fresh or dried thyme
 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
 1 tbsp Fresh chives, chopped
 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
 1 Boneless American lamb loin
 Salt & pepper, to taste
 1 Sheet of puff pastry, thawed
 1 egg, whisked
1

Preheat an oven to 400 degrees. Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.

2

In a large skillet preheated to medium-high heat add the olive oil, shallot and garlic. Cook for a few minutes and then add in the mushrooms, salt, and pepper. If you need to add more olive oil go ahead! Cook the mushrooms for a few minutes then add in the herbs and apple cider vinegar. Continue to cook for about five more minutes.

3

Remove the mushroom mixture from the skillet and place on a plate. Set aside.

4

In the same skillet use a bit more olive oil. Sprinkle the lamb loin with salt and pepper. Sear the lamb on high heat for about 2 minutes on each or until golden.

5

Remove the lamb from the skillet, cut into 2 pieces, and place on a plate.

6

Next, lay the puff pastry on the prepared baking sheet. Take a rolling pin and gently roll the puff pastry out into a 9X13 rectangle. Next, take a sharp knife and cut the puff pastry into two sheets. Spread some of the mushroom mixture in the center of each sheet leaving a 1/2-inch border.

7

Place the lamb loin into the middle of each and wrap the puff pastry around it. Brush the edges with egg wash and seal well.

8

Place the wrapped loins, seam side down. Cut a small hole in the pastry to let steam escape. Brush with more egg wash and bake for about 15 minutes. I would check the temperature even at the 10 minute mark because this loin cooks quickly.

9

Once at desired temperature remove from the oven to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing!
