Method

For the Lamb Bolognese:In a large braising pan over medium heat, cook mirepoix with oil, until onions are translucent- about 8 minutes. Add diced lamb and cook for another 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and cook for 2 more hours or until lamb is tender

For Ricotta Gnocchi: In a large bowl combine all ingredients to form a dough. Roll into a ½” diameter log and cut into ¾” pieces and gently imprint with a fork. Place in salted boiling water until set- about 1 minute. Saute in a non stick sauté pan with butter until golden.

For Lamb Brachiole: Preheat oven to 375F. Top each lamb sirloin with a layer of filling then roll and tie together

Meanwhile, preheat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and add oil.

In another small bowl, add flour and season with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge tied lamb with flour mixture and place in sauté pan.

Sear on all sides until golden and place in oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Remove and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

For Lamb Brachiole Filling: In a large bowl combine all ingredients and mix well. Reserve until ready to use

Place cooked lamb brachiole over gnocchi and Bolognese mixture. Serve immediately garnished with fresh herbs.
