Lamb Loin Two Ways with Cilantro Crema and Negimiso Gratin
On and off of the bone.  The gratin photo follows the lamb, and said gratin had an amazing balance of sweet, umami, and acidic flavors.  If you try this, make sure you allow the negimiso to reach the state of caramelization, because it formed a totally new experience.

• Rack: seared, rubbed with cumin dark honey, and baked
• Loin Scallops: seared
• Beans: sauteed with lavender-candied tomatoes
• Sauce: sour cream, soy sauce, cilantro, rapeseed oil, lemon/lime/orange juice
