This looks pretty tasty++lamb fillets stuffed with minced chicken and served with potato pancakes. The presentation looks like something seen through a kaleidoscope++overlapping triangles formed by the three lamb fillets, the potato pancakes, the morels and the sauces. Here again, I believe that “shallots” are in reality scallions. The “pork net” is more than likely a web of caul fat. Establishment: New World Hotel 22 Salisbury Road, Tsimshatsui, Kowloon. Western Cuisine Practical Class Gold Award – Hot Entree Chef: Lin Man-sang World Hotel) To prepare: 1. Soak morels over night in cold water and wash thoroughly Discard stalks. 2. Cut off and discard lamb fillet’s stringy part. Season fillet with salt and pepper. Using barbecue skewers, pierce through fillet lengthways, stretching meat apart slightly to form a central hole about 1.5 cms wide. Stuff chicken force meat into hole (one way is to use a piping or icing bag). 3. To make port wine sauce: either make a beef stock which includes sauteed mixed vegetables, herbs (rosemary, thyme and black pepper) and tomato paste, or liquefy the contents of a gravy sauce packet to produce a thick 1/3 cup of gravy. Add port wine, maintaining a thick consistency. Keep warm. 4. To make chive cream sauce: saute chopped shallots in a little oil, add Madeira wine, few drops of white wine, and chicken stock. Boil until thick, then add cream. Strain and add chopped chives, pinch of sugar, and salt and pepper according to taste. Keep warm. 5. Make 12 small golden-brown potato pancakes. Keep warm.

Wrap one layer of lettuce leaves around stuffed lamb. Then wrap it completely with sheet of pork net, folding net over the ends to enclose them. 4. Pan-fry stuffed lamb in melted butter (a soupspoonful) over a low flame for approximately 5 minutes until lightly browned. 5.
